The world is a lonely place

Dog or man?

There is a two layer filter between you and any other person around, even the ones who are closest to you. 

One layer is their own perception of who you are, and likewise there is a perception you have of who they are ... 

We typically react to what the person in front brings out from with in us, and this happens both ways ... 

So, when two people interact, they often interact not to each other, but to their own inner experience which is more dependent on their past experiences and less to what the other person is doing or saying ... 

So, if both can't see their own perceptions, and mistake it as objective reality, then both gets trapped to their own inner experiences of the person in front. 

Its like echoing inside an invisible shell, and not really interacting with others around ... 

This happens more with people who are unable to process the subjectivity of the present experiences if its difficult, which accumulates at the back of their mind and eventually distorts their experience of the outside world ... 

That's probably the case with 99.999% around us ... 

In other words, people live in a matrix of their own unresolved, unprocessed subjective experiences which if left unresolved and unprocessed furthers the distance they have between themselves and reality ... 

So typically they don't see you, but themselves, and you don't see them, but yourself ...

Waking up and coming out of this matrix can be a very lonely experience ...
