You: Why do we judge people so quickly?
Voice in your mind: Because it’s easier… less effort than understanding.
You: But isn’t only God the Judge?
Voice: Exactly. And yet we label someone “good” or “bad” from a single moment.
You: So why do we carry their ribbons of fear and doubt as if they define us?
Voice: This is what Beyond the Mirror calls the Ribbon-Tying Machine — our mind wraps reality in shortcuts, and we act on the ribbons, not the truth.
