DP Daily Prompts: The Mirror Crack’d

You wake up one morning to a world without mirrors. How does your life–from your everyday routines to your perception of yourself — change?

Mirrors are so important in our lives, at least I think they are. They help me look at myself, if I did not have a good rest in the night, it’s not going to lie, it will show how I look and how can I make myself presentable to people I meet through the day.

I’d lose my self-confidence because I do not have that wonderful thing called the mirror helping me make some necessary changes to my face before I see people.

Without a mirror I will lose my self confidence, I know I’ll have to depend on my friends and family, there are times when they’ll hold back the truth to make me feel good.

My perception of myself will definitely change, I’ll no longer want to meet people, I’ll avoid everyone and may not continue with my job.

There are studies conducted by psychologists that support the self-perception theory, demonstrating that emotions do follow behaviors.

First and foremost thing that will play with my emotion is the lack of mirrors, I feel no one can judge me better than I can.If I’m unable to see myself in the mirror,the first thing  I will lose is my confidence, it is very important for me.

365 Writing Prompts: I pledge allegiance

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

The standard dictionary definition reads,”love for one’s country.”

Stephen Nathanson (1993, 34-35) defines patriotism as involving:

1. Special affection for one’s country.

2. A sense of personal identification with the country.

3. Special concern for the well-being of the country.

4. Willingness to sacrifice to promote the country’s good.

Many think of patriotism as a natural and appropriate expression of attachment to the country in which we were born and raised and of gratitude for the benefits of life on its soil, among its people, and under its laws. They also consider patriotism an important component of our identity.

If someone asks the question,”Are you Patriotic?”

My answer is yes, how do I know I am patriotic, because I feel proud of my country, I am proud to be one of its citizens.

I am sad if my country loses in any competitive games held in the world. I pray for my country to thrive in everything. I’m concerned about its welfare. I am unhappy if someone passes negative comments about my country.

I love living in my country, I have a special affection for it!
