Quote by R. D. Laing

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail

Summary

This quote suggests that our thoughts and actions are limited by our lack of awareness of certain things. It implies that there are aspects and details in the world that we overlook, making it difficult for us to make significant changes in our lives. Until we recognize our tendency to not notice these crucial things, we remain stuck in our present mindset, unable to alter our thoughts and actions accordingly. Awareness of our blind spots is key to initiating change and broadening our perspectives.

Many audiences all over the world will answer positively from their own experience that they have seen the face of the invisible through an experience on the stage that transcended their experience in life. They will maintain that Oedipus or Berenice or Hamlet or The Three Sisters performed with beauty and with love fires the spirit and gives them a reminder that daily drabness is not necessarily all.
