Reflection and projection are not synonymous, though often confused. When one is seeing their reflection in others, they are observing a shared trait, behavior or aspiration. Inspiration often grows here. Projection is seeing others as being like you, good and bad. That can mar that whole reflection process. It's hard to see Love in others (and yourself) when all your grimy ways are well, in the way. So, if all you can see is the negative in others, reflect on it. It may help you to get your self out of the way and gain some clarity. As always, reminding myself first.
