Involuntary Witness

I am seriously hooked by this novel written by an Italian former judge. It is not only just a novel but also a book of wisdom.

What is Involuntary Witness? Basically, we are all 'Involuntary Witness' of something.

What is a 'belief' ? A 'belief' is something your brain think is true because it made you comfortable. It may not necessary be true.

What is 'reality' ? 'Reality' is something you believe it has truly happened. Like you owned a proton car. What food did you eaten today.

'Involuntary Witnessing' can happened when your brain turn a false 'belief' into a 'reality'.

Example :
A friend of you told you Paul is a jerk, Another friend told you Paul is a thief, another one told you Paul is a bad person. To make you comfortable, your brain create a 'belief' that Paul is no good person.

To sustain that 'belief', your brain will create 'reality' to support that 'belief'. Like : I think Paul that day came to my office and stole something. At the end, you will tell your friend : "That day Paul came to my office and steal my mobile phone !". Even if it never happened, you have became an "Involuntary Witness".
