It's All About Perspective

A week ago I had a topic I wanted to write about and it was "what are you sick of". At the time I was so sick of my housework routine, winter and just the general rut I was in.

What a difference a week makes.

Last week my daughter spent 2 1/2 days in the hopsital.....so complaining about cleaning seems pretty petty right now.

It's all about perspective...where we are at , at the moment and how we see things.....at that moment. Our perspective is constantly changing.

I am still hating the thought of cleaning....but not as much as having one of my kids be sick.

And the kicker to all of this is that everyone sees things differently. No one is ever going to see things the way I see them and vice versa....some might be close, but no one is going to see things 100% the way I do. guess that makes me unique!!

When you think about that it really makes you wonder why we care about what others think in the first place.

Perspective is also a cause for alot of conflicts....we think we understand each other but in reality can this ever be true? I  doubt it. 

I try to be an understanding person. Yet, I find myself in the middle of a conflict and I don't know how I got there. The "other conflictee" has a different perspective of our conversation and is now upset with me. I am searching for a reason ...for a cause....and I think it is all about perspective. What I meant as a benign question was perceived as an attack , as an insensitive ( I assume) request.

Whatever, it still hurts......

It's just your perspective.............wish it was more understanding as well........but, its your choice.

It is our choice whether we will be hurtful or helpful.....hurting or hoping.....cruel or kind.....

What's your perspective today?
