Reflections can be a form of resistance from "summary" of Mirrors by Eduardo Galeano

The act of reflection is not merely a passive, solitary activity. It can also be a powerful form of resistance. By looking inward, we can challenge the dominant narratives that seek to define us. In "Mirrors," Galeano explores how individuals can resist oppression through the simple act of self-reflection. He shows us that by questioning the stories that society tells us about ourselves, we can begin to create our own narratives. Reflection allows us to see ourselves in a different light, to question the assumptions that have been imposed upon us. In this way, it becomes a tool for liberation. Through introspection, we can uncover the ways in which power structures seek to control us. By recognizing these mechanisms, we can begin to dismantle them. Galeano argues that reflection is a form of resistance because it empowers us to challenge the status quo. When we interrogate our own beliefs and values, we disrupt the systems of oppression that seek to keep us in line. By refusing to accept the narratives that are imposed upon us, we can begin to imagine new possibilities for ourselves and for our communities.
