Self and Other—Unity in Duality

 The closer you get to others, the more you understand yourself

 Elaboration: The self is not an isolated island, seeker. It is a mirror, constantly reflecting the world around it. The deeper you venture into the hearts and minds of others, the more you will uncover about your own soul. The Mad Mage once believed that solitude held the key to self-discovery, but it was through connection—through understanding the reflections of others—that true insight was found.

 Reflection:

Think about the people in your life—friends, family, mentors. How have they acted as mirrors, revealing truths about yourself that you were not aware of? How might deepening your relationships further illuminate your own inner world?
