Isn't any good fiction a mirror? Maybe a distorted mirror, but a mirror all the same?

I don't know. Is it? No fiction I've ever shared has functioned as a mirror on anywhere near this level before. And when I read other people's fiction... I don't know, I feel more like I turn into a mirror to reflect what I read, rather than vice versa.
