Mirror plays a very important part in our daily life . Mirrors help a person to look themselves and others in it. The most important and special thing about a mirror is that it always shows the truth of a person looking into it. It shows the true personality of a person but in today’s world every person tries to change their personality in front of others like it has become the nature of human beings.
