Habits and Other Theories of Relativity

Whether we want to admit it or not most of the time we live inside our heads where we are the main character. Everything we experience is through this lens of Me-ism. We like to think of ourselves as free, open-minded thinkers, but in reality, our lack of awareness of the world around us is rooted in self-centeredness, which oftentimes gives us tunnel vision. It's not that you're selfish, narrow-minded, or believe the world revolves around you per se, but it does mean you have been hard-wired to think of self before others. The monologues in your head become endless loops of cognitive assurance. These cognitive assurances become cognitive patterns, which inevitably become behavioral patterns and habits.
