In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone solely based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately deceive us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.
Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media? Who can we trust? How about experts- people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world? However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that hampers (阻碍) our ability to grasp the intricacies (错综复杂) of the world.
Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution for, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way.
Yet, when we embrace a singular cause or solution for all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, championing the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the sole panacea. However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality.
Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. If this means you don’t have time to form so may opinions, so what?
Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong?

Creating Paintings for the Elderly
It was a wonderful spring day. The Earth was finally awakening from her Winter sleep. New life was everywhere. The sky was clear and blue. The air smelled sweet. The sun was kissing the world with its warmth. It was already nearly 21℃.
I was driving to pick my son up from the workshop, where he works a few days a week. On my drive I saw various beautiful flowers in people’s yards. The fields were full of yellow dandelions (蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds.
The trees were starting to awaken too. The blossoms on them were white, purple and pink. The songs of the birds were in the air as well. I was taking it all in and feeling the love from the creation all around me. I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well.
I pulled into the driveway of the workshop and parked my car. As I got out, I saw a lost little butterfly larva (幼虫) moving the wrong way towards the sidewalk. It was just about to go under my tire when I reached down and picked it up. I held it gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot. Before I put it down, I said, “You will never become a butterfly if you get run over my friend. The best place you stay is the grass.”
Just then, it was time to leave work, and my son came out. As he saw me, he waved from the distance. I hurried to meet him, still holding the butterfly larva in my hand. When he saw what I had in my hand, he was very curious and asked me what I was holding. I told him and said I was going to put it back in the grass.
My son suggested taking the butterfly larva home to look after it.
The moment finally arrived when the larva was going to become a butterfly.
