Chapter 11: The Myth About Losing Hair If You Don’t Masturbate
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
— John 8:32
Reject fear, seek truth, and walk in freedom.
A young man once owned a mirror with a thin crack running through the glass. Every morning, he studied it closely, searching for new flaws in his face. One day he noticed a strand of hair on his pillow, and the crack in the mirror made it look like a bald patch was forming.
Fear grabbed him. He asked people in the marketplace what it meant. Some shrugged. Others whispered strange explanations. One man spoke confidently, “It happens when you stop doing certain things. If you don’t, you’ll lose your hair.” The young man believed him, because the fear in his chest demanded an answer.
So he began living under that fear—making choices based on rumors instead of truth. But the more he tried to control the outcome, the more anxious he became. He checked the mirror constantly, and every time the crack distorted his reflection, his peace disappeared.
One day an older craftsman visited his home. He looked at the mirror and said, “Your problem isn’t your hair. Your problem is the crack. The mirror is lying to you.” Then he replaced the mirror with a clear one and said, “Don’t build your life on distorted reflections. Build it on what is true.”
The young man looked again and realized: the fear was louder than the facts, and the rumor had controlled him more than reality ever did.
