Reflections

A video surveillance camera is an example of an object of duality of thinking.

Division into black and white, good and evil, heaven and hell.

In surveillance cameras, some people see care, security, protection, a brave new world.

Others see the same object as a violation of freedoms, a Supervisory regime, and an authoritarian system.

As in the first case, so in the second case, an external object affects the internal state of a person and, like a toggle switch, clicks our state.

But when we get closer to the camera and look directly into it, we will see a mirror, our reflection in it, like everything else in this world, it is not good or bad, it just reflects us, we ourselves endow objects, situations, other people with qualities, hang labels. But the world only reflects us, the States in which we are, and if we let love into our lives, it will be reflected to us.
