Hate Mirrors Cynical

More From Marjane Satrapi

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Let go of your worries let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. if you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. if metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.

I hate cynicism. i wipe it from me. i don't like cynical people. i don't like cynical movies. cynicism is very easy. you don't have to justify it. you don't have to fight for it.

So don't get cynical. cynicism didn't put a man on the moon. cynicism has never won a war, or cured a disease, or built a business, or fed a young mind. cynicism is a choice. and hope will always be a better choice.

Your problem is you don't understand what that word means. people think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. but a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your attention so you can change your life. a true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. but to live with a soul mate forever? nah. too painful. soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave.

I catch as much hell from the hard-core conservative people as i do the far left. the only difference is that the far right don't bring the hate to the table that the far left does. and that's my party. they just deal in so much hate. i mean the far left, not the democrats, the far left really deal in hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
