Reflection

Confucius said, “Man cannot see their reflection in running water but only in still water. Only that which I still in itself can still the seekers of stillness.”

Confucius did not know about mirrors in his time, and many and before mirrors and still cannot find stillness because they seek the wrong things in the reflection before them. The stillness they need is within them, as is the real reflection of stillness they should seek.
