I don’t think I’d be wrong if I said that most of us have experienced the following: we see a mirror, a shop window, or a similar surface, and almost inevitably, we turn around to look, or to put it another way, to look at ourselves. Some of us do that to see how well we look; others, to see how bad we look; but be that as it may, a lot of us, when before a mirror, attempt to find ourselves in that reflection.
We can understand that “quasi-need” of our times, related to the capacity of human beings to recognize themselves. It is well known that, unlike other animals, humankind is the species that can recognize itself when reflected. This reflective capacity allows human beings to reflect, to turn inwards and rethink that which they have done or left undone.
