I teach physics to my kids. In physics, there is a topic called reflection. And to explain to them what reflection is, I always ask them to describe their image as they face the mirror. Their image would be (i) Upright, (ii) Same size as the object, (iii) Same distance away from the mirror as the object is in front of it.
Reflection reproduces 3 of the above characteristics in the image. And that is why I reflect on reflection. Because by doing so, I get to see the true object, i.e. myself. As I try to grasp the details of my image, I know that the integrity, size and distance of my image will determine the true form of myself. Only then will I know who I am.
