We don't need to be told to do the obvious. It works like this: Thus, it has always been. Or you do something that doesn't work and you don't do it that way again.
In life as in medicine. But for the last 5 to 10 years we have been encouraged to reflect on new information and how it will change us.

This is like a photographer delaying the taking of a picture long enough to analyse why he is taking that particular picture. Or wondering how that picture will influence the viewer once he has taken it, rather than being spontaneous, instinctive, natural.
Reflection of broken mirror
But it is worse than that. It isn't just that the whole process of being asked to reflect is artificial pointless and patronising; reflection isn't even a correct use of the word. I mean, if they can get the concept so wrong, how can we trust anything they ask us to do? You see the problem is this: They bounce incoming energy, that is, light, off their surfaces.
Choose frequency:
The light doesn't penetrate their smooth skins and in the process the light is turned upside down. They are blissfully unaffected by it. Lateral inversion, left to right, back to front. So reflection is a process whereby the reflector is uninfluenced by the reflecting, the incoming energy is turned upside down and reality is distorted.

So next time you are asked to reflect on a piece of information or an experience just bear in mind the fact that doing so won't change you. The moment you start you will instantly get it all back to front and, anyway, isn't it faintly narcissistic to keep reflecting like that?
