[He's got to admit, John is asking all the right questions. It's thrilling, and he frantically wipes away his text to start anew. A face to face conversation would be so much more stimulating, but this is exciting in it's own right.
No.
[He agrees emphatically.]
This is where unique individualization takes it's toll. It's a fascinating thing to study- much of the reason I've been so invested in psychology. Only so many traits in a person can be reversed before the opposite ceases to be a human, an individual, and begins to be a... cartoon character, if you will. Some traits are inherent to all people, and are necessary to exist for things like logical reasoning and cohesive brain function.
Say a person has 5 distinctive "A" traits and 10 underlying "B" traits that make up their personality. People are contradictory by nature, and it is almost a guarantee that 1-3 of those "B" traits will directly contradict an "A" trait.
Now assume you reverse all of those traits. What this means is they're still going to contain that "A" trait in its smaller but still existent underlying "B" trait, or vice versa. What's interesting is determining what personality traits are distinctive to the individual, what traits are caused by one's direct surroundings, what are inherent in all humans, and- moreover- the personality traits that seem to occur by "random" chance. Given that all mirrors are designed, weaved into existence by her majesty the Queen, where do these "random" INDIVIDUAL personality traits come from? Does it make a mirror as real as a "Real", or just attest to how great an immitation her majesty is capable of creating?
I wonder much of this on a daily basis, and I'm afraid I have no concrete answers.
