Sometimes the picture someone else paints of us is a more accurate portrayal than a reflection. What we see in the mirror is always reversed. A portrait not only allows us to see our own faces, but how it looks to others.

But the problem with looking back when you should be walking ahead is that you usually end up walking into something that hurts.
