Alan Watts – Why You Are Interested in Trouble (SHOTS OF WISDOM 22)

Human beings seem to have an instinctive fascination with trouble. We are much more sensitive to what is wrong than to what is perfect in our lives. Is this just another symptomatic dysfunction of man in his current stage of evolution, or is it more than that?

Providing deep insights into the psychological fabric of human perception, Alan Watts addresses in this talk the issue of selective attention. Our narrow perception of reality tends to basically recognize only interruptions and disharmony, and to blend the background and harmony almost totally out. He shows how the uncontrollable troubleshooter in us is actually our worst troublemaker.
