Imagine you live in a tiny house on the edge of a huge forest. You think that’s all there is, until one day, you find a path leading into the forest and discover a whole new world. That's kind of like what happens when we realize everything we thought was true might just be part of something bigger. It can feel confusing at first, but it also opens up amazing possibilities!
Examples
- You believe there are just two types of animals, until you see a bird with three legs.
- You think you're the only person in the classroom, until you look around and realize everyone else is also thinking they’re the only one.
