Foreword

  Dear reader,

I've had the privilege of knowing Paul Robinson since his teenage years, and my acquaintance with him has been a journey marked by profound admiration. From those early days, it was evident that Paul possessed an extraordinary spark of creativity, a boundless wellspring of imagination, and a remarkable talent for the arts. His ability to articulate his thoughts and ideas clearly was nothing short of remarkable.

Now, as the sands of time have seen him transition into adulthood, those sparks of ingenuity that were once present in his youth have evolved into a blazing fire of creativity and knowledge. It is this very fire that has brought about the creation of the book you now hold in your hands. Paul Robinson's journey, which began with a foundation in the arts and his role as a motivational speaker, has now extended into the realm of writing books on the subjects of social psychology and philosophy. He is proving himself to be not just good but exceptional in this endeavour.

I wholeheartedly salute him for his dedication and effort in crafting this book. It is a testament to the growth of a creative mind and the blossoming of an artistic soul into a skilful wordsmith. As you embark on this literary journey with Paul Robinson, you'll find yourself in the capable hands of a true Renaissance individual, an artist, a motivator, and an evolved thinker and author.

As I immersed myself in the compelling pages of ‘When We Get It Wrong,’ I couldn't help but be struck by the profound depth of reflections and the elegance of simplicity that graced each word. Paul Robinson's writing possesses a unique ability to transform complex ideas into easily digestible and captivating narratives. This book promises not only effortless reading but also a wellspring of inspiration that will keep you engaged and intrigued.

In an effort to underscore the essence of this work, allow me to share a snippet from Paul's own words in the foreword: This book is an earnest endeavour to disentangle the intricacies and misconceptions surrounding a multitude of topics we often misconstrue… I aim to shed light upon certain facets of emotions, behaviour, and paradigms, providing a clear and objective approach to understanding these oft-misconstrued subjects.

It's this commitment to unraveling the intricacies of human experience, emotions, and societal matters that makes ‘When We Get It Wrong’ not just a book, but a guiding light. Paul's words aim to clarify the fog of misunderstanding that often shrouds these vital subjects, offering readers a clear and unbiased lens through which to perceive them.

With each turn of the page, you'll find yourself drawn deeper into a world of insight, where clarity prevails over confusion, and understanding prevails over misconception. ‘When We Get It Wrong’ is more than just a book; it's a journey towards enlightenment and a path to rediscover the true nature of our thoughts, feelings, and the world that surrounds us.

In the timeless wisdom of Anthony De Mello, as penned in his renowned work, ‘The Song of the Bird’ (Image Books, New York, 1982), we find a profound reflection on the essence of communication and understanding. De Mello eloquently asks, Why does the bird sing? and in the master's response, we uncover a fundamental truth: Not because it has a statement, but because it has a song.

He goes on to distinguish between the words of scholars and the words of masters. The former are meant to be understood, dissected, and analysed, while the latter are not to be grasped through intellectual means. Instead, they are meant to be absorbed with a receptive heart, much like one listens to the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind, the soothing murmur of a river, or the melodious song of a bird. The purpose of these masterful words is to stir something deep within the heart, something that transcends mere knowledge.

In this context, Paul Robinson takes up the mantle of the master, not in the sense of lofty superiority but as a guide and a facilitator of profound insights. Through his book, ‘When We Get It Wrong,’ he endeavours to kindle that same inner awakening within you, dear reader. He invites you on a journey of self-discovery and a quest for clarity, urging you to eschew the temptations of populism and conformity.

Just as De Mello's words resonate within the soul, so does Paul Robinson's writing seek to resonate within your heart and mind. The echoes of his thoughts are meant to challenge preconceived notions, stimulate introspection, and ultimately guide you toward a deeper understanding of life's complexities. With every turn of the page, you'll embark on a voyage of enlightenment, exploring the rich tapestry of human experiences and the path to perceiving them with newfound clarity and insight.

Among the many gems I discovered within the pages of this book, one facet that truly stood out and resonated deeply with me was Paul Robinson's reflections on the subject of Love. His perspective is not just insightful; it's a revelation in itself.

According to Paul, Real love empowers individuals to make choices and have the ability to live without each other. In a world where love is often misconstrued, commodified, and tangled with dependency, Paul's words offer a refreshing and profound perspective. His vision of love is one that is selfless, supportive, and, above all, celebrates the strength and independence of each person involved. It's a reminder that love should never shackle, but rather, it should liberate and empower.

What sets Paul Robinson's work apart is his ability to take complex epistemological and metaphysical concepts and render them in a way that is crystal clear and tangible. He provides examples that breathe life into abstract ideas, making them not just understandable but relatable. It's this skill that makes his book ‘When We Get It Wrong’ a valuable resource for those seeking to unravel the intricacies of life's most profound questions.

As I extend my best wishes to Paul Robinson for this remarkable endeavour, I also wish the readers of this book a journey of self-discovery, enlightenment, and transformation. May the ideas contained within these pages serve as a guiding light, enriching your life and making it not only richer but also happier. The time you invest in reading this book
