Sunlight never touches your brain and you wanna lecture me about objective reality? Save it Degrassi Tyson.
We’re stuck in our own minds—and I don’t mean overthinking either.
The life you live comes from the brain you have.
If you want a better life, find someone who has the brain that leads to it….
Every single thing you interact with, from the animate to inanimate is your interpretation of it. There is no objective thing, you can’t take in those molecules without processing them through your biological filters.
In that way, you make everything personal.
You see your loved ones how YOU SEE them. You can’t not do this, so on Thanksgiving maybe you lend them some better characteristics because you’re feeling grateful.
…But for the most part, our entire lives, along with the people who make them up, are just our own minds projectiling its imagination based on nothing but mood and past experiences.
We color things the way our brain is colored (in that moment).
If you’re paranoid, you live in a dramatically different world than someone who is just chilling.
You all probably know this, so what’s the point?
When you become close to someone, you’re able to finish their sentences, answer a lot of questions for them (before they do), almost borrow their way of thinking.
How is that?
Because you’ve (to a certain degree) entered their mind.
Borrowing multiple vantage points, different views from different angles, from different worlds (people), you can use all that perspective to literally CHANGE your world.
That’s why community and friendship are still very underrated.
If your world sucks, go understand someone (whom you admire ideally) else’s.
No one lives in “the real world” the only question is: Who lives in the world you wanna live in, problems and all, and how do they experience all of this?
