The fact that vampires cannot see themselves in the mirror is a much more significant & accurate representation of evil than I previously appreciated. This explains a LOT about how many of the people in power currently operate & how they seem to be totally devoid of moral or ethical concerns. The lack of ability to examine yourself seems like it would naturally translate into a total lack of empathy & a near complete inability to see anything from the perspective of anyone else. So what is good for them at the expense of everyone else is in their mind good for the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Zw50f5jJk
