Atarah L. PolingWithin my reflection I see tears, for what I see is the truth, are my greatest fears.
About This Quote
What is true is that if one person were to look into the mirror they would see something that is not true. The thing that is not true in this case is that there are no tears. However, the idea of really seeing the truth is what makes the person cry. If you could see your reflection in the mirror and not cry, then you wouldn’t see the truth by looking in the mirror.
It would be like looking at a picture of yourself and pretending it wasn’t you. That’s why this quote by Jean Paul Sartre is about not being able to see your reflection.
