Think twice and thrice
Does it break my heart, of course, every moment of every day, into more pieces than my heart was made of; i never thought of myself as quiet, much less silent, i never thought about things at all, everything changed. The distance that wedged itself between me and my happiness wasn't the world, it wasn't the bombs and the burning buildings, it was me, my thinking, the cancer of never letting go; i don't know, but its so painful to think, and to tell you the truth, what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.

Tunnel vision
There is no such thing as total objectivity. We have blind spots, actual ones, because there are no light-senstitive cones where the optic nerve connects to the retina, but we don't experience that because we automatically fill in the blind spot with information surrounding it. We'd freak out and probably fall over if we knew how little we are actually seeing, or how accurately. People put this huge emphasis on being truthful, but our brains are designed to alter reality. We have to tell ourselves lies just to stay on our feet.
