The eyes may be the mirror of the soul, but the mirror is the bearer of truth. It reflects reality in its barest form. No adulterations.

I like how you liken children to mirrors. There are the purest mirrors we can ever see. Beyond not being able to hide their emotions, they also reflect what happens in society.

If a child grows in a bad neighbourhood, it wouldn't be long before they begin reflecting similar traits. You remember the saying that our environment shapes us.

Enjoyed reading your thoughts. All the best in the contest!
