6. "It could be anyone."

That's exactly right and I think that's what's pissing people off more than anything else. We usually react this way when looking in a mirror because we see the nasty things about ourselves that we'd prefer to ignore.

What is it they say about pimples? Pop one and five more show up. I think so long as we continue to 'pop' these human blemishes instead of treating the root of the problem, often our own habits, we will always have to live with the scars.
