| Description |
"The day the mirror was talking back", by Erik Pevernagie, 100 x 80 cm, oil on canvas.
Some people live disconnected, in a world of their own. Their wishful thinking represents their sole veracity. Many have acquired a particular skill of developing sophisticated showboating talent and a convincing gift of playing for the gallery. Through their accomplished grandstanding and their imaginative attention-seeking manipulations, they become experts in impressing their discussion partners. How many baloney wordmongers have not done everything possible to impact people using unethical tricks and words without real content? When the moment comes that their parallel truth collides with their "real truth," they may have a hard time subduing all the fanciful items and characters of their fictional world. If their presence becomes too controversial and irritating, the day comes that their conceit is blowing up in their faces. The mirror smashes the reflection of their delusion and talks back mercilessly while the truth becomes overwhelming and unavoidable. Many may have to fight their prejudices or doubtful means of action. Some can correct them and adjust their thinking pattern; others never give in. They prefer to stick with their dirty mind in the mud. Since prejudices are shallow or false judgments, infiltrating our mind in the absence of dynamic reflection, we have got to coach ourselves to prevent intense emotional discomfort or irreparable harm.
