Day 203 – Stolen narrative…
One of the most dangerous parts of the subconscious mindset with regard to relationships with others is the ‘automated’ survival mechanism of presumption…
In particular, this specific survival tool that we find on autopilot, owes to the fallibility of the human condition, founded in appointing ourselves gods of our reality through existentialist theory; that we’re nothing more than evolved water creatures and in our mind’s eye, we can be ‘gods,’ controlling what is right and wrong from a sovereign perspective; better and more commonly phrased “having our own truth.”
The survival device by which I refer to is none other than our ability to steal a person’s narrative.
This tool is conceived through self-preservation and enacted by copying and pasting our narrative onto others.
We do this by unwittingly and indirectly presuming people think and operate as we do.
It buries a person’s identity under preconception, presumption, speculation, and stereotyping rooted on our own personal experiences.
We look at people as though they were moulded in “our image…”
It takes away a person’s ‘clean slate’ and restricts them from showing who they really are; their story.
Further, it robs us of the opportunity of a real relationship with someone; the joy that can come from learning from someone else’s life experience.
