Fabric of Reality - Chapter 1, w/ VinDesh and Master Zi
Our minds struggle with complexity and uncertainty. We simply cannot process all of the information and possibilities that the world presents. So we create our own reality. We reduce the world to labels and simple narratives. She is “shy” and “introverted.” He is such a “jerk!” We then weave these strands together into a mental fabric: the fabric of our reality. And we do our best to hold this fabric together. We ignore conflicting evidence. And we relegate people to certain categories that fit within this broader tapestry.
Yet this fabric is distorted and incomplete. When we fail to recognize its limits we develop false expectations. We feel disappointed. We never really get to know other people. And we limit our growth, our understanding of the world. Approach the world, and others, with humility. Recognize that we only see a small portion of a larger picture. Drop the expectation that others will play a certain role, or act a certain way. Anxiety will dissipate. And life will become easier to manage.
