Every idea, person, or object is potentially simultaneously many things depending on the perspective from which it is viewed.
(Ellen Langer, Mindfulness)

I only became aware of… the fact that what I used to take for reality had been merely my worldview and not the actual world itself some years later… It was only then that I clearly saw it, this old view of the world… It was sitting there, sloughed off like an obsolete skin left behind by some growing, transforming animal.
