It is perhaps not the Church and all that it stands for that some fear so, but instead the demons of humanity that lurk within, tainting its Holy walls with their evil and their lust and their malice. And what if that window into our own souls wasn't just to show us our reflections, the good and bad of who we are, but instead the reflection of the whole world around us, and how we see that, in all its entirety of good and evil.

About This Quote

When a person is looking out a window, they will see a reflection of the world. If the window looks dirty, then the world looks dirty to them. If their mirror looks dirty, then they look dirty. The metaphor is that when we look at the world from a clean window, we can see what is pure and good in it.

However, if our mirror is dirty, we will only see what is flawed and evil in the world. When we look at the world from a clean window, we can see how it could be better. When we look at our mirrors from a clean window, we can see who we want to become and how we can get there.
