The truth in mirrors is often subjective from "summary" of Mirrors by Eduardo Galeano

In mirrors, we see reflections of ourselves staring back at us. But what we see is not always a true representation of reality. The image we see in the mirror is influenced by our own perceptions, biases, and emotions. It is a subjective interpretation of what we believe to be true. Our perception of ourselves is colored by our experiences, beliefs, and social conditioning. When we look in the mirror, we may see flaws that others do not notice, or we may see qualities that others admire. Our self-image is a complex tapestry woven from a lifetime of interactions and experiences. In a way, mirrors can be seen as storytellers, reflecting back to us the narratives we have constructed about ourselves. These narratives may be based on reality, but they are also shaped by our own interpretations and perspectives. What we see in the mirror is a reflection not just of our physical appearance, but also of our inner thoughts and feelings. Mirrors can distort reality, reflecting back to us an idealized version of ourselves or magnifying our perceived flaws. We may see ourselves as more attractive, successful, or confident than we truly are, or we may focus on our perceived imperfections and shortcomings.
  1. The truth in mirrors is a subjective truth, influenced by our own perceptions and beliefs. It is a reflection not just of our physical appearance, but also of our inner selves. When we look in the mirror, we are confronted not just with our physical reflection, but with the reflection of our own thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
