We all model reality through our background experiences. We have different experiences; therefore, we have different realities.
No matter how real our experiences are, they’re still subjective. When we tell a story about an experience to another person, for them to understand us, the listener would have to sort through their own background to understand us.
Not only are they sorting through their own experiences to understand us, but they’re also experiencing the story through their background. That’s why we love to listen to stories, because we enjoy experiencing the storyteller’s adventures.
I think that’s incredible.
When you think about this, it’s a wonder anyone understands anyone else. I am so glad we are able to share.
