Tell me about a time when you KNEW, without a doubt, a Truth - that then was revealed to not be a Truth at all. It could be something as fantastical as Santa Claus (Spoiler alert - it was your loved ones!) or as deeply imbedded as a religious belief, a path to understanding self or another, or some other revelation. Then, as you write about the process of understanding, connect with the "why". For example, why was your Truth able to be changed? What processes allowed that to happen? What senses were used to corroborate your new understanding? How did your needs and interests motivate your new understanding? How has that change affected your relationships? Are you better off taking the Red pill or the Blue one (for you Matrix fans)? 2 Complete pages, Times New Roman Font on an At ed W Doc sent via Canvas.

The Process of Understanding

We all have stories and concepts that we believed were true and later realized that our understanding was wrong. Notably, when I hear about the truth and understanding reality, the scenarios that flash through my mind mainly relate to my childhood memories. In my childhood years, I thought many stories, concepts, and ideas were true according to my understanding. Nonetheless, as I grew old, I came to realize that what I knew as the truth about something was completely different. For instance, although WWE wrestling is still my favorite sport, I used to believe that it was unreal.

Chiefly, I was eight years old when I first watched pro wrestling in my grandfather's place. I enjoyed seeing huge men fighting over something that I could not understand. To inform my curiosity, I asked my grandfather why the superstars were fighting with folded chairs. In response, my grandfather said, "none of this is real" he added that "these actions are animated just like the Tom and Jerry Show.’ Although my grandfather told me that WWE wrestling was animated, I used to watch it more than any other show. Nonetheless, I had a part of me that doubted my grandfather's opinion that wrestling was not real until I heard my lower-class teacher saying that ‘do you have any idea that WWE wrestling is fake?’ Although I believed that wrestling was fake, I used to get annoyed when anyone could term wrestling as fake.

Notably, through the process of understanding, my truth about WWE wrestling changed. It changed when I watched a hockey match which was my best friend’s favorite game. I realized from this game that the best part of most hockey fans is when a player is knocked down using the right hand. Nonetheless, when John Cena, a WWE superstar, hits his opponent, people say it is unreal. To inform my curiosity, I went to the internet, and I learned the truth about the concept of pro-WWE wrestling. As I evaluated various sources, I came to realize that wrestling was real but scripted.  The matches of every event are predetermined and pre-planned (Mahajan, 2021). Also, the superstars rehearse the lines of the script and what they are expected to do in the ring. Furthermore, the goals of the wrestlers are not to hurt each other. However, they do what they have to do to keep their fans entertained.  

Notably, unique senses we're used to collaborating my understanding about the reality of WWE wrestling. For example, my new understanding was pushed by the need to inform my curiosity about WWE wrestling. Chiefly, curiosity is defined as the impulse to acquire new experiences and information about something (Gino, 2018). Another sense that collaborated by understanding is the concept of injuries. Like any other sport, wrestlers experience injuries. For example, Daniel Brian, a WWE superstar, has undergone several knee surgeries due to injuries during a match. In addition, most WWE superstars have had their careers shuttered due to extreme injuries. Importantly, from this sense of thinking, I understood that pro wrestler put their health and bodies on the line for the sake of entertainment.   

Primarily, my love for WWE wrestling motivated my new understanding of wrestling as a sport. Chiefly, my new understanding affected my relationship with WWE wrestling positively. Although I realized that wrestling is scripted, I still hold it as my favorite sport and entertainment. Besides, my new knowledge about WWE wrestling expanded my interest in this sport. Overall, I am better off taking the blue pill concerning WWE wrestling. In fact, I appreciate the creative work of WWE directors to fulfill entertainment needs.
