Thinking with the Premise of Being Captive

Because people see things through their own standards.

A piece I wrote in November 2020, just after I started note.
My thoughts, which remain unchanged even now, are there.

Whether you are new here or have read this before,
I would be happy if you would read it again.

"Captivity" [Re-post]

I think we arecreatures who are captive to our own thoughts and emotions.I believe that.

People see things through their own standards.

It is often compared to colored glasses, but
we see things through the lenses we possess,
viewing them through our own perceptions.

We do not realize that we are captive to what we see through our subjectivity.

Webecome captive to these subjective thoughts and emotions of ours.

Once we are captive, we tend to jump to conclusions.

We do not look at the fact that other ways of thinking exist regarding things.
Regarding the bias of thought and understanding emotions through words,
we become unable to see and grasp things calmly.

If you feel very anxious about a certain event,
that is what you are seeing through the glasses you possess.

That event has become large, and other things look small.
You perceive the emotion of anxiety as large, and other things you feel as small.

While looking through these glasses,
both your thoughts and emotions cannot move away from what you are perceiving as large.

To calmly grasp the state of what is happening now,
take off your glasses,
move away from your thoughts and emotions, and move to a position of a bystander.

This is"objective perspective."

Being unable to have this calm view is likely what it means to be
captive.

When looking at the same event,
depending on whether you view it subjectively or objectively,
the way thoughts and emotions are perceived becomes completely different.

It could be said that this determines that person's subsequent direction.

When we are inside our thoughts and emotions, we are captivated by them.
When we distance ourselves from thoughts and emotions, we can perceive things calmly.

Whether negative or positive,
subjectivity is how that person feels.
Objectivity is the grasp of the state of an event.

It is difficult when you are captivated,
but as you experience the difference, you will become able to do it.

I think people are prone to being captivated.
