The mirror analogy is a half-truth - the basic emotions are the same for
everyone. If you were an innocent victim from someone's lies, seeing a
person lie to another can become quite provoking. The dictum man know
thyself is important. Find the cause of the emotion; often the roots lie in
having suffered from injustice. Instead of seeing a reflection of oneself in
a mirror, a reaction of identification is taking place. Having suffered from
abuse, on witnessing a case of abuse one will identify with the victim and
the reactions are predictable. So it is a matter of introspection to find
the cause. Eventually, K. burns away all identification and yet one remains
able to feel if someone is angry, without feeling anger itself.
