Why did the mirror describe itself unmisted by love or dislike

Answer 1

A human being's view of other is affected by love or hatred and therefore may be untrue. However, it is not so with the mirror. The mirror does not allow it's reflection to be clouded by such feeling. Hence , it's reflection are unmisted . The mirror admits that it is truthful, but not cruel. Hence perhaps, the reference is to people in general , as truth itself is cruel to human.
