Linear cause-and-effect thinking—pinning future strife on past grievances—oversimplifies reality. Influences weave forward and backward, social and personal; a dynamic interplay shaping existence.
Our need for control/stability drives reductive rationalizations, but reality resists such simplicity, demanding holistic understanding amidst chaos, not merely guided by logic, faith, or “gut feel” but a blended amalgam of animalistic intuition and rational subservience.
