A gentleman was looking in the mirror at himself. \u00a0He reached his hand in front of him and touched the mirror. \u00a0He tried to straighten his hair, but his hands just moved down the mirror. So he tried to straighten his clothes, but again his hand rolled down the mirror. He tried to reach out and tie his shoes that were reflecting in the mirror and his hand just kept hitting the mirror. By this time the gentleman was furious. \u00a0He was angry, and now yelling at the his reflection in the mirror. \u00a0The last straw for him was he started tossing things at the mirror. \u00a0Finally his wife came by, looking at him, \u201cWho are you yelling at?\u201d He pointed at himself in the mirror. She smiled, \u201cThat\u2019s you.\u201d \u00a0He then got upset again, \u201cI know, but I can\u2019t change it.\u201d He then explained what he did, she laughed harder. \u00a0She explained, \u201cHoney you can\u2019t change the mirror, it is reflecting what it sees. What about changing the one looking at it?\u201d<\/p>\n
