Our cognition is like a colorful painting, its colors and lines are deeply affected by external factors such as perspectives and scenes, and have great diversity. Just as a painter is creating, his works will change due to changes in perspective, light, color, and other factors. In the same way, our perception often takes on a different picture because of the influence of these factors.
Our cognition often falls into the trap of habitual thinking, as if trapped in a fog and can only see what is in front of us. In this case, our cognition is like a stroke in the painting, which seems to be isolated, lacking communication and collision with other elements. Therefore, we need to take our own point of view or idea, dry it in the sun, and let it cross with the views of others. Only in this way can we see whether there is bias or narrowness in our perceptions.
In the case of magic shows, for example, we tend to feel magical when we are doing it, but once we understand the principle behind magic, we will find that it is actually just a visual effect, either performing key actions outside of our perspective, or using mathematical identities to make accurate guesses. It's just because we don't understand the principle that we interpret it by inertial thinking. Just like when we look at a painting, if we don't know the author's creative intention and skills, it is difficult to truly understand the connotation and value of the painting.
The problem of cognition is everywhere, and the key lies in whether we are willing to break through and achieve the ascension of cognition. This requires us to maintain a humble mindset, have the courage to accept new perspectives and ideas, and constantly expand our cognitive field. Only in this way can we keep moving forward in this world full of changes and challenges, and keep a clear mind and a keen insight.
Breaking through the shackles of self-thinking sounds simple, but the actual operation is as difficult as mountaineering. Only those who can truly cut off the shackles with reality can spread their wings and soar in thinking. It takes not only courage, but also wisdom and determination. Just like a bird breaking free from the cage, we can soar in the vast sky and achieve a breakthrough in thinking, and we also need to face ourselves bravely and cut off the shackles of reality in order to meet a broader thinking space.
