Epiphanies
As humans, we are prone to a kind of mass hypnosis. We are creatures of habit, vulnerable to suggestion. We believe because others believe, accept the truth because there is general consensus about its validity. Epiphanies are the ultimate habit-breakers. They are often dramatic because they have to be, to break the mould we are trapped in, to shatter the house of mirrors we think is reality. They feel like earthquakes because they shake up our neat picture of the world, forcing us to put it back together again in a different arrangement. Because once an epiphany has occurred, there is no going back to the way it was before.
— Wayne Visser
