The whole and its parts

The whole & its parts

It’s automatic

While reacting to something we’ve done and have doubts about two questions will pop up:

  1. What is wrong?
  2. What do I need to do to fix it?

This automatism might be useful when a problem appears and remains accessible for fixing. Think of things like a broken switch, a missing tool, or thirst.

However, focusing on a problem within an action also focuses on what should have been there. It establishes an image of something that has not been there as if it could still be changed.

It is a focus that doesn’t serve anyone who is learning and needs to be aware of what happened to accept it.
