Our Truths Are Based On Internal Beliefs That Are Too Often Wrong
Here’ an important message to our leaders and decision makers:

Consider how our brain works …
Watch what happens to your belief system as you stare at this image.
1-Follow the moving pink dot: What do you see?
2-Look at the middle black cross. Now what do you see?
3-Now star for a few seconds at the black cross. What happens?
This should be proof enough that we don’t always see what we think we see.
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black ” +” in the centre, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black ” + ” in the centre of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating. It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot , and the pink ones really don’t disappear.
