Knowing it (but not getting it).
Let’s talk about The Big Confusion.
The thing that really messes people up, again and again and again.
Which leads us into the Bermuda Triangle of human behavior.
And that thing is:
Understanding it, but not getting it.
Having an intellectual, factual grasp of something, but not feeling the implications.
The difference between head and heart.
It’s where the mind says ‘Yeah, sure, I know, but…’
And the consequences are dire.
We know that smoking is really bad for us, but…
We know that worrying doesn’t really help or solves anything, but…
We know that what other people think about us is only ever about them, but…
We know that we do stupid things when we’re angry, but…
We know that rain can’t really cause bad moods, but…
We know we can’t possibly know everything there is to know, but…
We know that one glass leads to two and more, but…
We know that money doesn’t make us happy, but…
We know, we know, we KNOW!
