Summary

This quote suggests that a regular mirror simply reflects the image that is in front of it, showing what one expects to see. However, a "black mirror," metaphorically representing a more introspective perspective, reveals the darker aspects or hidden truths that may be present. It implies that while a mirror can show the surface appearance, a black mirror provides a deeper insight into the realities that may be overlooked or unnoticed at first glance.
