Thank you, Amanda for an amazing read. ❤️

The realization that everything we say and believe to be true is merely a perception has been a profoundly liberating experience for me as well. It's like shedding the weight of absolute certainty, allowing me to embrace the fluidity of knowledge and understanding. I have come to see that our perceptions are shaped by our individual experiences, biases, and cultural conditioning, making them subjective and context-dependent. This means that what I consider true may not be the same for someone else, and that's ok.

This understanding has freed me from the need to be right, to defend my beliefs, and to convince others of my perspective. I can now approach conversations with curiosity and openness, acknowledging that there are multiple truths and that mine is just one of them. It's a relief to recognize that I don't have to have all the answers and that it's ok to say "I don't know." I have let go of judgment towards myself and others. This has foster sense of empathy, compassion and understanding, enabling me to connect with others on a deeper level.

I share your fascination for the history of civilization, and especially the unknown! My wife and I once visited Tulum, an ancient Mayan city right along the cliffs of the Caribbean in Mexico. It was truly amazing and some of the carved stones look like the one you posted here.
