What happens in your mind when someone cuts you off in traffic?
You may immediately think, “That was bad. That person is rude. They do not care about anyone else.” The reaction can happen so quickly that the judgment feels like the truth.
But what do you actually know? The fact is that someone cut you off. You do not know why. They may be careless, or they may be rushing to the hospital after learning that their child is there.
The fact is real. The story we add is often a judgment or opinion.
