The world is built on associations.
If there are two people in a room and a fruit on the table, one might see it as green and the other as yellow — yet in reality, it may be transparent. How can you guarantee that everyone sees the same object in the same way? After all, color blindness exists.
To what extent can anyone claim to see all the colors of the world? Perhaps there are far more colors than we can ever perceive. What if the same word you use to describe a color actually refers to something entirely different in another person’s perception — but you both use the same word to identify it?
That’s why the entire world is built upon self-processed information. When someone speaks, it’s not just about what they say — it’s about how you interpret it internally. When you see something happen, you perceive it through the filter of your own associations. This is why people say, “You create your own reality.” Everything depends on what’s going on in your mind and how you perceive the world around you.
The idea that no one else should wear white because it would dim the bride’s light stems from someone’s insecurity — an insecurity that others later inherited. You can either follow that same path or rise above it, adopting an entirely new attitude based on unshakable confidence.
