no title 10
I went to a bookstore after dinner as usual. Like the day before yesterday, a black-colored brochure of the release of Harry Potter 7 was standing on every cafe table. And it was automatically linked with one of the questions I translated yesterday and also the mirror of erised in Sorcerer's stone. Why? Well... because the question was about what LBS would find in the mirror...because the mirror of desire is my most favorite part of Jowling's Harry Potter series...because I'd like to recall Dumbledore's lines, “It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never seen your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge nor truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible.” and “The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is.” Or, because I remembered that I lost the capture image of the very scene where Harry was sitting in front of the mirror, keeping internal dialogue with his deepest desire, that is, with his parents, and I wanted to get it again...........and, probably because, once again, I wonder and I fear if I would ever see something "clearly" when I stand in front of the mirror. why? because truly I don't know what, if any, I desire. On one side, I am glad for it because I get to know what makes me shameful and let me follow is not the people who have material and physical beauties, but the people who have moral virtues, and the latter may not have such a strong desire. Maybe they are far from longing for something whatever it is. But on the other side, I am not glad to find that I have little to speak of what desire I have and why, because it implies that I still don't know who I am.
