The sun sets on another day…
The sky was beautiful and the world complete, I enjoyed the setting of the Sun as the wind blew and every piece of the world made a little bit of sense.
I had a late night debate and wrote about it immediately after. There was a piece of History being made in the world as so many are penned and forgotten. The discussion was about different angles of cameras and how people see the world. I spent a lot of time discussing the different sides and still feel that it’s hard to define moments for other people.
That’s a trick isn’t it. It’s a trick I have had to deal with most of my life. I can look at the outside of a situation and assume based on who I am how that situation should be handled. On the other hand, I cannot necessarily understand the perceptions of the person in that situation. I can always understand their perspective but their perception is foreign to me.
Imagine me walking into an elevator with you. You are you and your perspective may be that there is a monster in the elevator with you. I am much taller and broader than most people. I have had many people walk into an elevator with me and it is always interesting to see how they respond.
There are some people who will cower in the corner. Their perception is that I am a threat even though their perspective is that I am just larger than them. There are some people that will start a conversation and tell me about their uncle or brother who is nearly the same height as I. Their perspective is similar but their perception is that I may be similar to the people that they know. I have also had people leave the elevator when they walked in with me fainting some excuse, I wonder what fear is ruling their perceptions.
When we are making decisions on how people see the world, we also have to determine how the world has treated them and how they should respond to it based on their previous Life Experiences. Those experience will shape their perceptions of a situation as clearly as the truth. In the end, they will make decisions based on what they understand and how they interpret the world they see. It would be arrogant of me to decide how they have to interpret a situation without walking in their shoes.
How do you compare how you see the world to how you interpret the world? How do you find truth when you only see a portion of what is there?
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you can see clearly now and I hope the rain is gone. I know it is sunny here and each day is a chance for hope. Keep making your world amazing each and every day and see past the surface of everything, no matter what
Sleep sweet, love life, and click click…
