The profound realization that every random passerby is living a life as vivid, complex, and intricate as your own. Via: The German word sonder can give you an extreme competitive advantage in life. https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/2062595402352972106 It means this: every person you pass on the street has the same complexity of life that you do. Their own love interests, their own family, their own concentric rings of relationships and history radiating out from them. Most of the time we just walk by people like they’re objects in our field of vision. Sonder is the practice of actually feeling that about the people around you. The paradox is that the more you dial into that, the less significant you feel, nd the less significant you feel, the happier you get. The moment you make everything about yourself, you stop getting satisfied. But when you realize you’re just another cog in the wheel doing your best alongside everyone else doing theirs, people sense it. People will relax around you. That’s when real connection happens. {tags: German}
