- Humans are born suffering from main character syndrome. We peer out from our skulls to see the entire world revolving around us, the central protagonist of reality itself. We’re surrounded by a cast of supporting characters who are either helpful or not in our ceaseless quest for the hero’s rewards. We spend much of our internal time generating stories about ourselves – imagining our future, fussing over our past, creating defensive justifications for our behaviour. Evolution has cursed us with a relentless self-focus that can become bitter and exhausting. We can become bored of ourselves, wearied by the sound of our own internal voice and irritated by the same-old subjects of our same-old dramas.
