A loving person lives in a loving world, while a hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them and so do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside ourselves. When we love someone, it's a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like "I love how I am when I'm with that person." That simply translates as "I'm able to love myself when I love that person." Mostly, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we "click". Sometimes it's as if we've known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities.
Just as the "mirror" or another person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that we'll notice it when it has a negative message. For example, it's easy to remember the moments when we have met someone we're not particularly crazy about.
Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically (讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's speaking to us. It is not when I start complaining nor is it a time when I pick on the annoying one. Rather, I begin questioning myself further each time I meet someone that I don't particularly like. I ask myself, "Is there something similar in me?" Occasionally, I could see a piece of that quality in myself. It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes.
At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or annoyed. Although we don't want to believe it, and it's not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self-awareness.
