It’s incredible how different all our internal environments are. At this point in time, we still don’t fully understand what’s going on inside the head of any other human being.

Our knowledge gains in the realm of psychology can provide insight and direction to the causes and characteristics of our dispositions, but they serve as markers at best. The mind remains a mystery that we have yet to deeply comprehend.

Recognizing these limits, and how diverse each person’s perspective of reality can be, enables the closest we can achieve to a shared experience and a collective paradigm. When we ground ourselves within this reality, and consider another’s vantage point, we contribute to the betterment of our species and our world.
