Reflections can distort reality from "summary" of Mirrors by Eduardo Galeano
In mirrors, reality trembles. The reflection we see staring back at us is not always a faithful representation of what stands before it. Mirrors have a way of manipulating reality, bending and distorting it to their will. They are like tricksters, playing with our perception of the world. When we gaze into a mirror, we expect to see ourselves as we truly are. But what we see is often a version of ourselves that is altered, skewed in some way. The mirror has the power to change our features, to make us appear taller, shorter, fatter, or thinner than we actually are. It can warp reality, manipulating our image in ways that are both subtle and profound. Mirrors have a way of revealing our insecurities, our fears, and our doubts. They have the ability to magnify our flaws, making them seem larger and more pronounced than they really are. In the mirror, we see ourselves through a distorted lens, one that highlights our imperfections and diminishes our strengths. But mirrors can also be deceivers, showing us only what we want to see. They can create illusions, presenting us with a version of reality that is far removed from the truth. In this way, mirrors can be dangerous, leading us down a path of self-delusion and self-deception.- Mirrors are not to be trusted. They are unreliable narrators, telling a story that is not always based in reality. We must approach them with caution, recognizing their potential to distort and mislead. Only then can we hope to see ourselves as we truly are, free from the illusions created by the looking glass.
