Looking At Self Then Out To The World

We often notice everything the world tells us, but if we strip what the world tells us away we are left with our own conclusions and perception of things; similar to a cave man wandering the wilderness wondering what things are. Long story short, no textbooks, no media, no technology. Only our self, alone with our thoughts, experiences, understanding and imagination. Looking at it from this angle, there is no right or wrong answer to what we perceive and think. There is only that in which we perceive is true until proven false. For example, if a caveman sees fire for the first time he’s curious and want to touch it, he might not think the fire is harmful until he learns the fire hurts when it burns him.  Now why would I explain such a lucrative thought? Well, looking at everything from this perspective, it forces one to think for themselves and obtain a self-identity in which he or she can question or try to understand external events. I call this looking at self. In essence, it’s looking at our self and everything we perceive and everything that is physically or psychologically affecting us that we perceive that is true within our defined relative space.  Now with that idea let’s open our thoughts to the world. Everything in the world in which does not come from the self  is an external element, event or stimuli. It is the voices of other forms of mediums in which we might not physically see, experience, or perhaps understand. These are the things you might read in a magazine; learn through a textbook, watch on TV…etc. Knowing this, I believe it is easier to question the real world as we utilize two mindsets of that which comes from or affects the self and the events that are happening in the real world.
