The point is that, depending on the presence (or absence) of the observer, electrons behave differently, in two ways: in the first case, like particles, in a thief, like waves. An inexplicable phenomenon! Shocking fact!

But listen, the same phenomenon works in the sphere of psychological perception: the semantic direction of almost any phenomenon depends on the observer, or rather on the prism through which a particular person perceives the phenomenon.

Any given in itself does not have an unambiguous meaning, specific values are attributed to it by a specific person (depending on the prism of his perception). An obvious, mind-boggling fact, won't you agree? It is not for nothing that spiritual sages try to look at things neutrally, since they are well aware of the primitiveness of evaluative thinking.

Am I making it clear? Let's clarify … Reality (as in the case of quantum phenomena) seems to adjust to the presence of a particular observer. It is the way you see it (you know, ready to perceive it). The bottom line is that our perception is always limited, and therefore far from the ultimate truth.

Can we draw, in connection with the above, some useful conclusions? I think we can, and at least the following …

1. You should not hang unquestionable, unambiguous labels on anything. Specific events yesterday, today, tomorrow may look different for us, differently.

2. It is most correct to start from the main spiritual tuning fork - the conscious position of the "wise man". Rational, everyday arguments, for the most part, are attitudinal (social), which means, firstly, they are imposed by others, and secondly, they are relative.

3. Any phenomenon, any phenomenon (attitude, person) - multifaceted, multipolar, variant (their manifestation depends on many things) - our assessment is always conditional, as it reflects a narrow section of the analysis and one-sidedness of the chosen approach. The only thing that should be done in a communication connection: to correlate a specific given with the consistency of our semantic contents - in tune-not in tune, close-not close, mine-not mine, and depending on this - to bring closer or distance an event, a person.
