Exploring Reality: Key Questions on Memories, Truth, and Judgments

In this thought-provoking discussion, we delve into fundamental questions that shape our understanding of reality. How valuable are our memories? Do they enhance or compromise our perception of the past? What influences our recollections, especially from childhood? We also explore the significance of truth and its discomforting aspects, the judgments we make about families, and how we cope with contradictions in our realities. Join facilitator Shinae in reflecting on these questions and their implications for our worldview, contributing to a richer class mind map.
