Why don’t people simply “caught up” with the “to reach in the mirror” phrase with a snarly smile?
Today’s washinton post reported that John Edwards, Democratic nominee for vice president in 2004 was aquitted of one count, and the judge declared a mistrial on five other charges on his campaign fraud trial on May 30th. It says:
“Edwards emerged from the courthouse to deliver remarks that sounded more like repentance than triumph. After three hours, he was seen for the first time.” He lamented his “sins” and said he would not have to go far to find or face the person. ‘I am on my head. I am gonna go to the mirror,’ he said. Is it me alone? Who,
I am, is attracted to the remark, “I don’t have to go further than the mirror.” It’s me and me alone. In this truth-telling novel I’m afraid for nothing. “We
have a Japanese stereotype, ” “Look (your face) in the mirror, ” when asking somebody to consider a thing in light of his conscience by means of questioning the things they could think of. So why should they look in the mirror?” This phrase is also used to remind one of his/her own being not so handsome as she thinks.
Is “you don’t have to go any further than the mirror.” a stereotype or a phrase well-used in the case when you are placed in a position to search your conscience, or just a John Edwards’ improvision before the press corps?
Is it true that these individuals are not able to overcome their own barriers?
Rather than an improvisation or a stereotype, the phrase is a variation of a ” face in the mirror” trope. While some of the book links at the above ngrams link suggest intentions of introspection, reflection, and looking deep within”, other links merely refer to a person looking into the mirror. What do you think if John Edwards said something like this today? I guess accepting responsibility probably entailed some introspection as to where the phrase is taken and
what do you think it does not necessarily imply it.

one look in the mirror and not do what would be said is like a man who looks at his face in mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like? Why is looking
in mirror true? Before criticizing others, you should first look in the mirror and realize you have to take responsibility for your actions. Did John Edwards say anything wrong?
How can looking in mirror be used as an experience to realize one’s self?
As it is a general idea, there is no specific wording on that word. Importance comes across as long as something like “mirror” and looking are involved.
