What you see is all there is

It's been a genetically integrated trait within us that we love to judge people. When we encounter people in our everyday lives, our minds go on judging them. This person looks beautiful, this person is fat, that person is weak. I have encountered many people who really know only a fraction of someone's life, but still they go on to judge how the person is really bad or intimidating.

For the ones who go through day to day seeing people badmouth them, I would say, "No one can see you."

Human life is a crucible of intense suffering. We just differ in intensity. And that intensity is based on the details we tend to observe in our lives. Some people might live a happy life while having cancer because that's who they have been before—a happy person.

And some may spend their lives in a constant state of misery with all of their limbs intact. When we judge a person by what we have heard from other people, we miss the details, and we potentially get diluted to nothing.

Without really tasting someone's life, without really sitting with them for hours, without really feeling the core of their essence, you can never judge them. I have seen the most beautiful person break apart at times of misery, and the one who seems to be the happiest suffer.

At the end of the day, humanity is an entity alone, and even within it, each individual is alone. No one can understand you fully. They always have a fraction of your life, and it matters who has the biggest part, not the fullest.

This is why I tend to dive deep into people's lives. When I get exposed to the details of suffering, I understand that we, as humans, are intended to suffer. But it doesn't have to be the suffering that kills us. Instead, it can be the suffering that makes us alive.

When we see people on the news or on television, what we miss are the details. We only watch the highlights. And seeing those highlights, we tend to believe that this person is happy and successful. But we miss the points where they were unfiltered.

Talulah Riley, the ex-spouse of Elon, was having an interview on the topic of Elon Musk, and she went on to say that Elon was chronically stressed. She would witness Elon scream and yell in his dreams and try to crawl up something in the bed. Elon had a very bad childhood—everything you can imagine.

Still, when we watch the highlights of Starship or Falcon, we miss the details that were intended for this result.

When I look at people like Naval, I tend to think he might be the happiest person on Earth, but I miss the details, like every other individual.

People just turn out to be the most spiritual, the wealthiest, or the fittest, but what really matters is not social recognition, but the game they are playing in their minds. No person is intended for enough; they are intended for the abundance that is more.

I have attained a sense of personal fulfillment, and that's why I spread happiness. I am so full of myself and the things I have held beneath myself that I tend to explore. And that's when I start my exploration; the details of others' lives make me more humble. I tend to think life is a great thing, and maybe that's what all of us are supposed to think, but we fail to.

We all see the face of a startup, what buttons are there in the bottom layout of a software, how the air conditioner cools up the room and gives us a feeling of relaxation, but we hardly think about the incident where it went from Zero to One.

It is easy to think of the greatest things on Earth as a fairy tale. To get those highlights done, there were tons of non-highlights that people forget about.

I think it's a profound quality that is in-depth art, which tends to fulfill people despite the struggle that one has been through.
