Kaleidoscope- A Symphony Of Colors

Kaleidoscope
noun
-Mirrors and glass that turn and create different patterns and colors, or in other words an ever-changing sequence of colors and events. -

After all, a mirror's purpose is to give form to an ideal it sees and become an echo of what it beholds . Once a mirror is unable to do this, it has become defective and has lost all purpose.

But what if a mirror was able to give form on its own will without the need to become an echo that chases after an ideal? Would it then still have no purpose then?
