Perspective – one too many

Perspective is a cathartic thing. We all have it, knowingly or unknowingly. It is like a background process that keeps running no matter what. Now what is it exactly? In my view, it’s sometimes nothing more than a preconceived notion.

It seems to be the thin line between sanity and insanity. What’s correct in my perspective might not be correct in yours. 

I am a person who believes that anything that doesn’t touch you from the inside, that doesn’t make you think can’t hurt you physically and mentally. The greatest thoughts are the ones which we have when we are silent because that’s the time when we introspect. We keep analyzing everything. That’s my perspective.

Perspective, perspective, perspective…everything you do is either right or wrong in someone’s perspective, including you. All these are notions that are influenced by our cultural background, the people around us and our inner thoughts. All these notions make us jump to conclusions that are often false.

Considering your perspective as the only right one is where we mess up. If I have a notion that dark skinned people aren’t beautiful, then how am I ever going to admire the smile of a dark skinned child? How can I admire the minute details of beauty that nature has bestowed upon us? How will I be able to walk barefoot on rain-soaked grass and enjoy it?

The best thing that we can do is to understand there is beauty in everything and everyone. That will put so many things into place and make this a world for everyone to truly live in and not jst survive. Analyze things, think about them, try to look at the bright side. Understand why you love or hate something. Do not let these notions take control of your thoughts.

Empty your mind before you start something because it helps to not have a pre-conceived notion about something. Allow yourself to see more than just what your eyes want to show you.
