There is a projection effect in psychology: if a person sees fools everywhere, suspects everyone has a conspiracy, or thinks others are pretending, it doesn't mean they are very smart. It usually indicates that their inner world is filled with scheming, hypocrisy, and foolishness. Because our brains can only understand what is within our own cognition, a kind-hearted person finds it difficult to interpret others' actions as malicious at first glance. Observe others as you would yourself; cultivating the mind is fundamental. The person you see in others is never just others, but a projection of your inner self—what appears is not their true nature, but your own cognition, mood, and perspective. A kind-hearted person sees tenderness in everything; they rarely view others' words and actions as malicious. A narrow-minded person sees criticism everywhere; they often misinterpret kindness as scheming. The thorns you repeatedly see in others are often rooted in your own unfinished lessons. With more mindful introspection, mend your shortcomings and cultivate your heart—this is the true path to lifelong growth.
