Are you aware that you are misinterpreting things all day every day? It's not just you - me too! The look on someone's face, why they are doing what they are doing or what someone is thinking about us. We think we are cameras; seeing the world as it is but we are really projectors; creating our own personal reality. 

It's like we are looking at the world through personal goggles but we didn't even create the goggles. They were created by the things we learnt as we went through life. They are made of our conditioned thinking. 

It might seem like a challenge to see through this but it is easier than you think. All it takes is awareness! Knowing that misinterpretation is happening all the time, waiting to be seen. Your feelings will let you know because that misinterpretation feels pretty unpleasant. That's wisdom letting you know that you are off track.
