Writing: Holding up a mirror to the world

The things we write about, fiction and non-fiction, can take interesting twists and turns, depending on our perspective. Some people approach a window and marvel at what they see on the other side. Other people see a pane of glass.
Imagine being in a crowd of people sitting in a room and having someone in the front of the room hold up a large mirror, large enough that everyone can see the images in the mirror, no matter where they are sitting. In other words, they are all looking at the same world but from a different angle.
That is what writing is all about.
