Have You Looked in the Mirror?

Our society is obsessed with self. Not only do we have mirrors everywhere but we have even developed apparatuses to help us take pictures of ourselves. Instead of recording what is happening, or the people we are with, our emphasis is now on ourselves. We have filters to change those pictures to make us look better, to add a crown or bunny ears, or to add some cute caption. We are surrounded by reminders of ourselves but do we really know what we look like?

Like God

It is the overwhelming desire of humanity to be like God, to the extent that we try to be God in many ways. The period of Enlightenment is a great example of, not only humanity’s desire to be like God, but our belief that we can and will be like Him. The Tower of Babel is another example of humanity’s attempts at equality with God, but is it truly possible let alone permissible?
