[i][url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(esotericism)]How can you be certain the person staring back at you in the mirror is actually you at all?[/url][/i]
[spoiler]
[i]The reflection of that figure in those eyes on the glass; how long have they been there?
What happens in that mirror when there's nobody around to pay it attention?
How do you know it's not just a window to another side?
Though I have strong beliefs in what is real, I am certain of nothing. But, I'll continue to pretend I am certain of everything, lest I be committed to the Asylum, that place where they stow away the people they deem a threat to the construction of the social order.
We all make up new names for ourselves. But, by which name are you certain you are yourself?
Are you the object by which the mirror reflects, or are you merely the image looking through the glass from behind the projection?
Things to keep you awake at night.

So what happens when break a mirror? Do we just break a reflective piece of glass or is it the moment our true selves and our sentient reflections decide at the exact same time that we no longer wish to torment our minds with the thought of a parallel universe separated only by thin and fragile windows disguised as a reflection of our current universe...
