Wallace places emphasis on the word "adjust" because he is addressing our realities and way of thinking as "default." He expresses the importance of paying attention to your surroundings, and adjusting to other perspectives and ways of thinking. He compares our ignored experiences to the water fish swim in but were never taught to notice.

Pyramus and Thisbe were two lovers who had been forbidden to marry by their parents, but like Romeo and Juliet, they continued t
SpyIntel [72]

The story of the lovers "Pyramus and Thisbe" follows what is commonly known as "The Star-Crossed Lovers archetype", in other words, it is a tale the captures a typical character, it's actions and situations in a way that they represent universal patterns observed in human behavior and relatioships. Two people who fall inlove for each other; however, their relatioship is doomed since the begining, because by fate or destiny they cannot be together.

"Pyramus and Thisbe" depicts a Babylonian hero and heroine. The tale was related in the form of a latin narrative poem by the Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses in book number IV. The book the story comes from is full of myths and it chronicles the history of the world from its creation to the deification of Julius Caesar. In this particular story the myth is about thwe color of the fruit, which is red due to the lovers spilled blood. About this type of writing William Shakespeare was the first one to represent this archetype with "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet." The japanese culture have a similar story that supports their Tanabata Festival.
