Imagine your face is a puzzle, and the mirror is like another person who copies it exactly. When you look in the mirror, you see yourself as others do, but also others seem to be just like you because they have the same kind of puzzle. Mirrors reflect light the same way from every surface, so everyone looks more alike than they really are.
Examples
- Your brother looks like you in the mirror, just as you look like him.
- When your friends gather around a bathroom mirror, they all seem to match in appearance.
- At a party with a big mirror, everyone seems to be from the same family.
