Story

Today as planned Yesterday, I tried not to make sense (not to understand what situations or behaviors meant to me).
Part of the process is totally automatic so I guess it requires a bit more work to stop it or stop paying attention to it.
However things seem to go a bit more fluid when I block the making-sense brain process (when caught in time).

What I realised today is that this reflex ability to make sense is what makes stories and storytelling possible. When given a set of events , we fill the gap and make somewhat sense of it. We make a story.

What if we live a life with no story? What happens then?
Probably many more real stories instead of the limited one we constantly design in our brain....

To try!

Making-Sense, Making-Censor

Well this is my first post. I should and will keep it short.
Today I realized something.
It is in many books probably and it is quite obvious but ok well I just realized it!

It is that the brain tries to make sense of things! It does on its own even when we do not ask him to.

It is obvious for perception, when given an ambiguous image it will automatically fill the void and even create an illusion to make sense. That is the key to most perceptual illusions actually.

But it is also true for situations and actions. And that is what I realized.

Therefore it will try to find an explanation that makes sense with its limited information on the situation and limited abilities to interpret the situation.

But that seems like a constant stream of interpretations when the brain is on (on thinking mode)!

Problem worsens when your interpretation is both wrong (but can it be right?) and negative...

Might be interesting to see what happens when you try not to make sense, not to interpret.

I'll try tomorrow and will let you know if it is wishfull thinking or if it works!

Cheers!
