[106] Prince: Humans are not born with a mirror in their hands Marx is referring to the value-form commodity of humans.
From footnote eighteen, when humans are born, they do not
know how to act as humans (male or female), because they
don't have a reflection basis for acting. Humans are
completely natural when they are born. Meaning a new baby
will not know how to behave until they see and observe a
reflection. For example, usually parents are a reflection
basis for a new-born baby. When the baby observes the
parents' actions, usually then the baby will mirror the
behavior of his parents. The parents are now of value-form
to the baby. The baby only relates to himself as a human
through his relation to another human (parents) instead of a
nonhuman, such as a dog or cat. The baby has no part in
creating his parents, because the parents existed before him
to mirror them. The baby created (developed) himself into a
human baby through interactions with other humans (parents).
Many people overlook that fact that they are developed and
created through mirroring someone else either within or out
of their environment. |
