May 25th is the National College Students’ Mental Health Day. Let’s talk about the curious mirror of reality!

PS: Please be mentally prepared before trying!

Have you ever thought about these questions: "What do I really look like? Am I really as handsome or beautiful as I appear in the mirror in the eyes of others?" If you are curious and want to know the truth behind it, there is indeed a magical mirror that can satisfy your curiosity and explore yourself more deeply. This mirror is the protagonist of today's "Mirror of Truth".

What is the mirror of truth?

Since ancient times, mirrors have possessed a mysterious spiritual power that has ignited human imagination and the ability to recognize one's own image. When you look in the mirror in daily life, you will find that when you raise your left hand, the person in the mirror will raise his right hand. This is because the image in the mirror is completely opposite to the real world. From the direction of the hairstyle, the way of smiling, to the symmetry of the face, the image we see in a normal mirror is always upside down. However, the real mirror can change this deep-rooted phenomenon and let you face the truest self. You only need to combine two identical flat mirrors at right angles, and there is no obvious gap between the two mirrors, so that the image in the mirror can become the real image of "non-reverse reflection" seen by the naked eye.

To check whether you have made a real mirror, the first way is to write a word or a sentence on a piece of paper and hold it in front of the mirror. If you see that the words are not reversed, it means you have succeeded. The other method is simpler and more intuitive. If you find that the person in the mirror becomes unusually strange and even makes you wonder, "Is this really me?", it also means that you have successfully made a real mirror.

Reactions and meanings when facing the mirror of truth:

If this is the first time you face your true self, you will most likely feel very uncomfortable with the image in the mirror.

Here are some common reactions:

"It's so weird, like a mirror in an amusement park. Why is my head a little tilted? No, I can't bear to watch it!"

"I hate this feeling. Why do my partner's cheeks look a little droopy? This isn't the real me. Did you do something?"

"Is my face really that round? It's even rounder than in the photos. Why has no one ever told me about it?"

"I don't think there's any difference. I just think one side of my chin is bigger than the other, which is kind of cool."

. . . . . . .

In fact, the emergence of the mirror of truth has also led to many exciting discoveries. Through the precise reflection of our faces, in three-dimensional space, we can truly create an image of "who am I? What do I look like?" Researchers have noticed that when the image we see accurately matches our real expression, when we directly make eye contact and experience emotions with a stranger we have never seen before, we can quickly establish a new feedback loop in our brain without information distortion, thereby greatly enhancing our ability to communicate and recognize ourselves.

Conclusion

For a long time, human beings have been constantly exploring all kinds of things in this world or in the universe. We have an endless desire to know any unknown field. While we pay more attention to observing things outside of ourselves, we should learn to stop and look at ourselves. There are still too many unsolved mysteries in us. Therefore, if you are determined to pursue your own truth and want to understand and feel yourself more clearly, try to face the real self in the mirror of reality on the premise of being mentally prepared, which may give you a deeper feeling.
