Have you ever paused a video of a person while they are speaking or moving around? I was recently watching a video and was forced to pause while the character was doing a monologue, I laughed at the expression in which he was frozen at, and then it hit me! What we see as fluid and graceful facial movement is a actually a series of distorted pictures put together. Its the same thing with sound. We hear fluidity in noise, but the truth is we just don't notice the pauses that give rise to what we recognize as music, language or nature. Now imagine that you took a multitude of snapshots of a video by Bratt Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio, and then showed someone the compilation of odd looking facial expressions you've put together. They would likely not recognize them, they would not see them as handsome or healthy but would instead see them as physically deformed or mentally handicapped. We tend to do this with snapshots of people's lives, including our own. We take a single incident or event and extrapolate to "create" a fictional representation or movie which depicts whatever label we're trying to validate. We can do ourselves a huge favor by taking a step back, and working on seeing the whole movie, realizing we all end up making ridiculous faces along the way, but finding the end result being a far cry from that. Its no single note that creates the symphony, and no single rock makes up the mountain. #holistic #ecology
