I had an insight.

I was watching YouTube. Particularly- Leo's video The psychology of being wrong and many other recommended videos of different people on self -improvement videos were below as I scrolled past Leo's video .People were sharing their opinions. I saw a video recommendation of a 42 year old jobless, unmarried person. Even though I didn't watched that video I had an insight - People have widely different lives.

All my life up until 25 I was living under the assumption that people are equal their lives are equal only I have problems which nobody understands. However , it caused a shift of 180 degree in my perspective that no two people have same lives.

I know it sounds simple but it's still powerful.

Yes. And people are also not the same people.

Until you try psychedelics you wont know how insanely different peoples minds can be. The variety is infinite between what people are experiencing in the same room. You will be shocked at how crazy human mind is. No 2 people are experiencing reality the same way and no one is experiencing reality the same way you are even if it seems they are.

I later contemplated-  What are the ways I'm wrong ? As you said in the video I was surprised that how many answers my mind supplied to me.

Oh yeah, it’s crazy how different people are when we look beyond surface. Like just having a ”normal” conversation with a new person requires you to latch onto huge amount of comformity and social rules (which of course is mostly wired and comes unconsciously).

I love it how those built boundaries of a comformist mind start to slowly melt when you get to know someone better, considering you are both actively working to be more authentic and real.

At some point after peeling a layer after a layer there will be a level that seperate you two. I think that true friendship to some degree is being able to first of all acknowledge that difference and then accept it completely without the need to understand it. To respect the uniqueness in other.

Whenever I spend any time thinking about it, it blows my mind how little we know about other people.

Nearly my whole life revolves around just a few dozen people at most, all my pain and happiness is about those people. And yet literally metres away through my living room walls, is a different bunch of people living their lives in their own particular bubble with their own few dozen people and their own drama.

We are living on islands in a huge ocean of humanity.

And it takes so much time with the other person to create a profound sinergy. It is possible, you just have to cross a big river.
