The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

R. D. Laing

Ronald David Laing (7 October 1927 - 23 August 1989), was a Scottish psychiatrist who wrote extensively on mental illness - in particular, the experience of psychosis. Laing's views on the causes and treatment of serious mental disfunction, greatly influenced by existential philosophy, ran counter to the psychiatric orthodoxy of the day by taking the expressed feelings of the individual patient or client as valid descriptions of lived experience rather than simply as symptoms of some separate or underlying disorder. Often associated with the anti-psychiatry movement, he himself rejected the label as such, as did certain others critical of conventional psychiatry at the time

    Die Reichweite dessen, was wir denken und tun, wird durch das begrenzt, was wir nicht bemerken. und weil wir nicht bemerken, dass wir es nicht bemerken, können wir wenig tun, um uns zu ändern; bis wir merken, wie das Nichtbeachten unser Denken und Handeln prägt.

    mitä ajattelemme ja teemme, on rajoitettu sillä, mitä emme huomaa. ja koska emme huomaa, ettemme huomaa, voimme tehdä muutoksen vain vähän; kunnes huomaamme kuinka huomaamatta jättäminen muovaa ajatuksiamme ja tekojamme.

    l'éventail de ce que nous pensons et faisons est limité par ce que nous ne remarquons pas. et parce que nous ne remarquons pas que nous ne remarquons pas, nous ne pouvons pas faire grand-chose pour changer; jusqu'à ce que nous remarquions comment le fait de ne pas remarquer façonne nos pensées et nos actes.

    rekkevidden av hva vi tenker og gjør er begrenset av hva vi ikke legger merke til. og fordi vi ikke legger merke til at vi ikke legger merke til, er det lite vi kan gjøre for å endre; inntil vi legger merke til hvordan det å unnlate å legge merke til former våre tanker og gjerninger.

    o alcance do que pensamos e fazemos é limitado pelo que deixamos de notar. e porque não percebemos que não percebemos, há pouco que podemos fazer para mudar; até percebermos que a falta de observação molda nossos pensamentos e ações.
