Counting television images, how many people must we see every day, thousands? Since most of them have two eyes and two legs, it's easy to assume they’re more-or-less like us. To tell the truth, I hope they’re mostly like me and hope I’m mostly like them. But when I’m proven wrong (and it's happening more and more often), it can be — I don't know why — unsettling.
This week, notice moments when you expect others to be like you. Also notice the inverse: when you try to be like — or different from — someone else. Consciously accept things just the way they are for a moment or two. Notice how that feels.
