Humans are an interesting breed of animals. We believe that we know everything there is to to about each other and we immediately categorize everyone around us, especially strangers.
While I was cleaning the windows in my apartment yesterday, I drifted away in thought, as I tend to do while performing repetitive tasks, and that brought me to the concept of being present in the moment. I try really hard to be present in whatever situation I am in. One of the things BDSM has helped me with is just that, to stay focused on what I'm doing. The textures, scents, tastes, and emotions I experience in a particular moment. Through focusing on here-and-now I have found that I don't get bored as often and frustration is just fleeting.
Reading about quantum particles and watching documentaries on youtube had me thinking about how we interact with other humans.
Stay with me, I'll get to the point now.
Quantum particles have the curious trait of potentially being everywhere at any time, until they are observed. Wouldn't this be true for human interaction as well?
I would say yes.
Humans have this amazing capacity of being in one spot physically and a hundred places mentally. Because of this, you can only be sure where you yourself is at. As for someone you're interacting with, you can't know where that person is mentally unless you observe them closely. This in turn means that you have to be present in the interaction, because you can't properly observe someone unless you focus on that person.
Humans, just as quantum particles, have the potential to be anywhere at anytime, at least mentally, until called attention to.
