i basically agree with everyone that our brain is selective and nowhere is this most apparent than when going through personal matters like relationships. so i guess i don't have much else to add, but i felt compelled to reply anyway :P because i relate a lot to the pi quote. but yeah.. our mind is quite an amazing filtering device. we do this often with our thoughts. that's why brainwashing techniques are actually quite simple. our minds are very impressionable things. and when you confine someone in an isolation tank and deprive them of some basic senses, what they will end up sensing when something IS sensed will be magnified so greatly that it takes over the mind. essentially, it's messing with our filtering system. so you spout propaganda ...mess with their heads... do this until its conditioned and they're brainwashed just like that. so..filtering is normal and needed to survive. when we relate it with things like relationships, its just our brains putting meaning to what we want. things don't just "happen", we make them so.
