Imagine looking at a painting of a flower, where everyone sees the flower, you see every brush stroke, every meaning behind each brush stroke, feel what the artist felt when painting it. Sometimes, it's too much. You dull things, you escape the fact that everything around you is both mundane and complex at the same time. You try to shut it off, escape, become closer to your peers by not being better than them.
