Reality is too complex to understand. In an attempt to understand the situations that we encounter as we live our lives we create models.

It is easy to confuse the models that you use to understand reality and function in your everyday life with reality itself. When you recognize that you don’t understand everything you open yourself up to the complexity of reality, and you gain the opportunity to gather more information and improve your models.

What you see clearly is your current model. By being open to seeing additional information that you allow you model to change and shift like water in an container so that it more closely matches the shape of reality.
