It is just my mind, but is it not real?
I don't want to generalize, because it can have shades of the Cognitive Distortion – Over Generalization.
One potato rotten. Another potato fine, upto the standard for this particular person or group, to make curry with.
Definitely all potatoes are not rotten then. A curry is possible.
This is the understanding that will save you from Over Generalization. It is up to oneself to accept if this reality is needed.
It is Over Generalization to think all potatoes are rotten, when some effort will clearly show that at least one potato qualifies by the same standard as Not Rotten.
Up to us whether we care about that reality or not.
If you choose to be in a boxing ring, follow those rules – set ones and physical ones if you want to avoid certain results. If you are playing chess, those rules.
Up to us : "Do i want to accept this reality."
Just one thing – if you need to rationalize a lot to accept something as reality, probably it is not worth it. Accepting the opposite and moving on may be better. Understanding cognitive distortions and changing the scripts helps with this.
Humans – body does not like some food – that is its reality. Same with mind too. All is not OK if you don't want certain results.
Reality or practicality or …
living ones life – choosing which results one wants.
However you may try to feel that you are not the driver and someone else is there, it is still you even if you think you are leaving the steering wheel…
