“Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror But you are eternity and you are the mirror”

Khalil Gibran

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror every morning. You see your reflection, just like eternity sees itself when it looks at a mirror. This quote is saying that beauty doesn't just come from outside things; it's actually a part of you. You are like eternity because you have timeless value and beauty inside you, which is always there, watching itself. Think of a mom who sees her child with love and pride every day. To her, the child is beautiful no matter what. Here, the mom's love doesn't change—it’s always there, showing how timeless and enduring her feelings are. The child's beauty, like the reflection in the mirror, comes from this constant, unchanging love. You can apply this idea to your life by remembering that your true beauty and worth come from inside you, from the unchanging parts of who you are. Just like eternity, this inner beauty is always there, even if you can't see it all the time. When you understand this, you become more confident and can face the world knowing that you have something special inside that can't be taken away or changed by others.
