Free Write

February 7, 2022 - Writing

Given the fact that this is a free write, implying I can write whatever I’d like, I’ve decided to talk about human life and how we impact our realities more than we think. 

To begin, everything we believe to be true in objective reality is simply our perception, meaning what our brain decides to think when receiving messages from our eyes. Most everyone sees the same thing but how one interprets that is entirely up to their own mind. For example, when our brain sees a moving car, one going 60 mph, our eyes see the car, nothing more, nothing less, but our brains tell us that it is dangerous, it tells you not to get in the way of the car if you value life. But the vast majority of us have never actually been hit by a car yet our brain still portrays the same message, danger. This is because our brains have evolved to tell us what we need to survive: naturally, we are as smart as we are today because of evolution, because in prehistoric times those whose brains told them danger instead of just a snake were the ones who survived. His pattern continued throughout history; those who named their surroundings a threat rather than exactly what they were are the ones who survived. The same concept applies today, we see moving cars as threats we perceive danger instead of just seeing a car, we see what the car is capable of and how it could affect us. This means that all of us see the world the way our senses have evolved to see it, the way our senses have evolved to keep us safe but not for its truth. Because of this, seven billion people experience every single day differently, but never in it’s true reality.
