Who Dunnit?

This video is actually a PSA for cycling safety. It is about awareness and I found it on the Never Not Here website. Richard Miller, the host of the web show, uses it to call attention to the fact that everything we see or believe is manipulated by our own expectations. I'm a big fan of this show about non-duality and found this message useful to our kindness mission.
This is not new. We all know that our own life experience "colors" what we see and therefore, our assumptions are subjective and not necessarily "absolute truth". I don't think this can be stressed enough.
The initial message "pay attention (to cyclist)" which Richard uses to express "a deeper truth" can also be used to promote patience and kindness when the fact that we don't know the whole truth reminds us to be empathetic. We come from different places and practices. If we acknowledge this understanding it may help us become more tolerant of others.
A Matter of Observation: Did you notice the changes?
