“How come we think we are irrefutably right all the time? What makes us show off our rightness so often? If we agree that we don't just perceive the world, but we frame it, we must admit that errors and misunderstandings arise. Due to the differences in lived reality, we become more open to dialogue and are less addicted to carved certainty. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“Every so often, we see many people feel uncomfortable with facing the truth. The truth seems to be a brittle deer. We should, however, not fear the fragility of truth, for it creates openness to correction, learning, and growth. It fosters empathy, making inquiry, curiosity, and wisdom possible. Truth becomes less about possession and more about pursuit. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“How sure can we be of the soundness of what we think? We see things through the filters of our minds. Our perception is a product of our mind's interpretive framework. What we perceive is an interpretation soaked in context, memory, and partiality that arises from our conscious engagement with the world. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“The cat-and-mouse scenery is not only about animals, but about our human condition. How do we live, how we are played, and how we might become the cat to another’s mouse? Play and malice, freedom and inescapability, survival and destruction are entwined. The trap is not only external. It is also within us, in the desires that ensnare us, the illusions we follow, and the systems we occupy. ( ‘The Mousetrap”)”
