Came across the following story on my travels:
"What are you doing?" the man said to the monkey as he watched him lift a fish from the water and place it on a tree.
"I am saving it from drowning" said the monkey.
There is no such thing as reality, only our interpretation of it. This interpretation is very influenced by our conditioning. Thus as many research studies have shown; if as a child, you spent your time playing violent video games, you may become desensitized to violence in the short term. Recent research by Professor Bruce Bartholow of the University of Missouri- Columbia highlighted this fact.
Be open to the fact that your version may not be the best one!
Ten years ago with a completely different version of reality to what I have now, I was right. Today, I am right also! Strange world!
