An apple too big, or a room too small?
What lays behind the apple?
At times, you might find yourself not knowing what to do with issues and experiences that strongly affect you. Just like the apple in the painting above, it occupies the room without us knowing why it is there, where it is from, what it does, why we care . . .
Perhaps what many consider as mental-health problems and psychological disorders are not less unknown than the apple in the room. Is the “apple” the same thing for everybody? Are pain and suffering inevitable in all walks of life? Does knowing the answers, learning more about oneself, guarantee the improvements you desire?
Here, doubt is a good place to start. Rene Magritte titled the above painting “The Listening Room”—there lies value in giving space to say whatever comes to your mind without reserve, without knowing why.
