Simplified Meaning:
Mirrors show us how we look on the outside, but they can sometimes make us feel bad about ourselves. For instance, if you see a new wrinkle or gray hair, you might start to worry about getting older. Mirrors only capture the surface and can highlight changes we don't like, such as aging or imperfections. This might make us focus too much on what's wrong, rather than what's good about ourselves. Instead of dwelling on looks, it's better to focus on our actions, kindness, and other positive qualities that really matter. If someone looks in the mirror and feels upset, they should remind themselves that their worth is not tied to their appearance.
