Thank you Charlie, and for enlightening me to the Buddhism connection. I hadn’t thought of the concept of aligning subjective vs objective realities (probably coz i don’t think of many things in life as objective) but maybe internal and external realities? The way we see ourselves and the way others see us, as you say. But also the way we see others, which is partly related to our perception and their behavior. Thanks for making me think more deeply about this…
