When you concentrate you also ignore stuff.

(we all concentrate, for work, play, reading, studying, school … we practice it in school … people who are good at it are “good workers”…)

But you call it CONCENTRATION instead of IGNORING because the stuff you concentrate on gets easy-to-see but the stuff you ignore sorta fades away (and then you stop thinking about it, and then it disappears).

The stuff you concentrate on is relatively small. A book. An idea. A game. An attractive girl’s butt. A plan for the future. A tv show.

And that stuff getting ignored is relatively HUGE. Like a whole invisible universe there.

It’s spooky when you think of it. Like a little bit of DIY brain surgery that everybody does but nobody talks about. Like we’re all a bunch of Harry Potters casting obliviate upon ourselves.

And then we forgot that we cast it, because it’s obliviate.

So tell me what you think.
