thinking about mirror images

Picture By Jamie Solomon

     You look in the mirror and notice the specularity that is occurring. With this specularity, you begin to speculate the image being reflected back at you. Notice the image that you are seeing is reversed. You are accustomed to seeing this reversed image of ourselves that it is more familiar than our actual image. You have seen this image so often that we begin thinking that it is how we are seen by others, but it is the opposite. Write your name on your face while looking in the mirror; the hand doesn't recognize the face. Does the hand work out of your will or does it not recognize your face? 
Thinking about this figuratively, you have more of a connection with the mirror image of yourself than with your actual self.
