At a certain stage you of life a child realizes the birthday cake is for them. The recognition of one’s own visage in the mirror is a similar developmental signpost. However with age these kinds of eye openers fade to the point where one may become surprised and even think “who is that?" as a reflection comes towards them in a store window lining a sidewalk. Unless you're articulately vain you probably stopped looking at yourself holistically. Sure you shave or apply makeup but these involve a facial compartmentalization that leaves little time for evaluation. Moreover what is one to say? “I’ve aged.” Following that the crushing truth is repressed in order that one may perpetuate the delusion of eternal life.
