I owe Bruce Lee an apology.
Because of his movies, I associate him
with brute strength and little else.
(I owe an apology to martial arts as well).
I fell into the bias of simplifying him into a caricature
which was incomplete and dismissive. "All muscle/no brain".
Looking back, I've shared a quote from him every year since 2022!
I didn't even notice this until now.
I did not know he's written many volumes,
including ones on philosphy and quantum physics.
So this quote today is a reckoning for me.
A reckoning with the assumptions I make
and the bounty I miss due to prejudgment.
It's much more "efficient" to
deem something or someone as
unworthy of time or attention;
to label and dismiss
rather than to be curious and open to learning.
It feels like opening a window I didn't know was there.
Namaste'
