"Can this mirror see the future?" Ron asked Harry excitedly. "Of course not, my parents are dead." Harry said sadly.
This is the Mirror of Eris (THE MIRROR OF ERISED), in front of it is only our deepest desire (It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.).
Harry was fascinated by this mirror, and often violated the rules to come to the mirror to enjoy the good time with his parents. Because only here can he see his parents who have been thinking about him, and he can experience the happiness of being cared for by his parents-even though that kind of love is only the caress and smile of his parents in the mirror.
In the beginning, Harry would look back from time to time to see if his parents were really standing behind him, but then he just sat on the floor in front of the mirror and stared blankly. He knew that Harry in the mirror was not himself, but he couldn't help but be intoxicated.
At this time, Professor Albus Dumbledore appeared. He warned Harry: "This mirror neither tells us the truth nor does it increase our knowledge. People become vulnerable in front of it, addicted to what they see, and even go crazy, but don't know what they see. Is it true or false.”
Only the happiest person in the world can see who he is in the mirror. However, everyone has desires. We yearn for happiness, but we are unhappy for all kinds of things. Desires that are difficult to achieve in the real world hope to be satisfied in the virtual world, goals that are not achieved in oneself are pinned on their children, and wealth that is difficult to achieve by conventional means is bet on the lottery. Because of this, some people will become addicted to the Internet, some will hate iron and steel, and some will be addicted to gambling. However, whether it is through the virtual world, the children, or the "I" who wished to realize the desire, it is not the real me.
To make ourselves happy, we can only rely on the self outside the mirror.
