The Mirror Paradox

Why Mirror flips the images Horizontally rather than Vertically.?

           Left and right are the only directions which are described relative to the observer. Up and down (and north, south etc) are independent of whichever way you're facing. When you look in the mirror, up, down, east and west are still in the same place. But you read printed text from left to right - not east to west - hence the problem with 'mirror writing'.
