I've often pondered the FACT, that so many people seem to see things in a very different light, so to speak, from each other. I've reflected countless times for example on people's religious beliefs and all of the various spiritual texts available throughout this great big world of ours and the different philosophies put forth by many around the globe. In other words, how come we don't all believe the same things, why is it that our thinking varies so much in so many vital areas of life?
After my reflections, I realized that really in the long run, as today's title puts it 'It's All About Perspective'. Obviously each and every one of us are individuals who hopefully think and act as individuals who think for themselves, not allowing anyone else to do their thinking for them. So you believe one way, your children perhaps believe differently, and so do some of your relatives, friends and associates at work because 'It's All About Perspective'.
But someone said to me one day as I put forth this concept to him, but isn't it all in the end about seeking The Truth? Yes indeed it is; however, once again one's perspective of what constitutes The Truth may vary greatly. But D. Paul, I thought you mentioned in another article, that Truth does not change.....no it doesn't for Truth is, as the dictionary puts it "That which is". However, once again each individual's perception of what The Truth is may indeed vary considerably.
For example: In Christopher Columbus's time , the pervading perception was that the world was flat and indeed many thought that as he sailed off to discover the so-called New World he would sail over the edge and be lost forever...that was their perception of The Truth. However, their perception was incorrect as The Truth is that the world is round thus Columbus did discover The New World.
People often question me as to why some people are so very positive and upbeat in nature, whilst others are so negative and pessimistic. Once again it's all about perspective. Of course, the reason one is negative and the other is positive is due to mental conditioning. If one is surrounded by negative people from birth; well then, chances are you'll be negative too. Likewise with positive people.
However, one can change the way they think at any time as everything in life in the long run is a matter of choice. So in a nutshell, what I'm simply stating here today, is that everyone is free to change their perspective at any time they choose to.
