Like Being Outside the Story
If you're an external observer, you're like someone standing outside a play. You can see all the actors moving around, hear their lines, and understand what’s happening, but you’re not one of them. It's like being the parent who watches your kid playing with toys, you know what they're doing, but you’re not in the game.
Watching from Afar
Sometimes, it’s easier to see things clearly when you're not inside the action. Think about looking at a puzzle from above, you can see all the pieces and how they fit together. That's like being an external observer, you get to see the whole picture without getting caught up in the middle of it. Imagine you're watching your favorite cartoon from outside the TV, that’s like being an external observer.
You can see everything happening on the screen, but you’re not part of it. You're just watching, like a friend who's not in the story but knows what’s going on.
