Surprise tells us that we were expecting something other than what we got, even when we didn’t know we were expecting anything at all.
As one philosopher noted, the human brain is an “anticipation machine,” and “making future” is the most important thing it does.
We treat our future selves as though they were our children, spending most of the hours of most of our days constructing tomorrows that we hope will make them happy.
When we think of events in the distant past or distant future we tend to think abstractly about why they happened or will happen, but when we think of events in the near past or near future we tend to think concretely about how they happened or will happen.
It is difficult to escape the focus of our own attention—difficult to consider what it is we may not be considering—and this is one of the reasons why we so often mispredict our emotional responses to future events.
Our remembrances of things past pervades our perceptions of things present as well.
Realism: The belief that things are in reality as they appear to be in the mind.
What could be more important than feelings? Sure, war and peace may come to mind, but are war and peace important for any reason other than the feelings they produce? If war didn’t cause pain and anguish, if peace didn’t provide for delights both transcendental and carnal, would either of them matter to us at all?
If we have a deep scratch on our eyeglasses and don’t know it, we may erroneously conclude that a small crack has opened in the fabric of space and is following us wherever we go.But if we are cognizant of the scratch, we can do our best to factor it out of our observations, reminding ourselves that what looks like a rip in space is really just a flaw in the device we are using to observe it.
Our experiences instantly become part of the lens through which we view our entire past, present, and future, and like any lens, they shape and distort what we see.
Once we have an experience, we cannot simply set it aside and see the world as we would have seen it had the experience never happened.
The fact that experience is unobservable to everyone but the person having it.
