I am trying to think, but can't come up with a conclusion.

It's not really reversed.
It's sending back an image of what is directly in front of it.
Your right eye is on the right side of the image you see. If it were really reversed, you'd see your right eye on the left side of the image you see (just like when people are in front of you, their right eye is on the left side of what you see).

because sides are not reversed in a mirror, it's that what is doing the looking is being tricked into thinking that it's looking back at itself from a few feet away. Stop trying to logically reason this; the system of logic that has been put in your head has been programmed there purposely because the truth will not fit into it and the truth is being hidden...
You've got potential, but you are still stuck in believing that you are what you see, feel, and hear, and forgetting that you are what sees, feels, and hears. You believe that which sees, feels, tastes, and hears is abstract and does not exist in the universe. Well, how are sights, sounds, etc communicated to that which senses, and if what senses exists in this universe, what is it, physically, in this universe? If it is something abstract that exists outside of this universe, that must be a real trick to relay sensory perception to it. And if that which senses does not exist at all, then we might as well throw out the baby with the bath water...
You are looking at a door but it's a big jump to actually being able to step through the door. How does your question relate to the following zen koan?
Life is like piling up snow in a silver bowl.
It's a hell of a big jump and you probably won't make it but if you've been working very hard in the past you'll fall through the door without even trying. There's not much point in saying much more. Good luck.

It isn't necessarily reversed, it's just you're seeing it opposite of what it is. If you have taken aerobics classes, you know that the teacher faces away from you to show you which side you should move. A mirror is like that aerobics instructor, except the instructor is facing you, and their lifting the opposite arm. Does that help?
