I don’t think it’s really profound but ‘perception is reality’. How a person perceives something is what they think is true and real, even if it isn’t.

From “The Good Place”: If soulmates do exist, they’re not found. They’re made.
I believe Seth MacFarlane said something similar in “The Orville”.
A great reminder from two great shows.
I miss Orville
They are currently filming season four!
Are they going to make it funny again? Or will it be as exhausting as season 3?
Exhausting? S3 was awesome and ST:TNG-like!
This has influenced my entire idea of spending money:
“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”

How so, out of curiosity?
Buying less and buying for life as a priority when choosing purchases. It’s had a knock on effect thst I try to buy bespoke from small artisans as they tend to be higher quality and it supports small businesses rather than megacorps.
You won’t know if you don’t ask.
People fear rejection or embarrassment for asking other people questions but once you realize that it’s the most efficient way to navigate life it really helps. Saves you time and energy. Often saves you emotional energy as well in the long run.
If you like someone just ask them.
If you want to know where someone got something or learned a skill just ask them.
Curiosity is important and I feel so many people are so socially anxious that they will just try and Google and Google as opposed to entering into a simple verbal exchange with a stranger or something.
