POINT’S OF VIEW

 

I have found as I have travelled life’s highway that in the end everything comes down to perspective.

For example, if you are inside a car your perspective would be that the car was an efficient and economic means of getting from a to b.

However, if you were a pedestrian walking and urban pavement you would view them as dirty, noisy and smelly polluters of the planet.

That’s perspective.

Another fine example was Diana (Princess, lady etc) she was viewed in almost equal measure as one of three things.

Firstly, as a demure heroine of the people, secondly as a scheming, manipulative self-publicist or thirdly as a vacuous clotheshorse.

 

Note that this can be applied to every conceivable area of debate whether it is Homosexuality, Religion and politics or eating habits the list is endless.

 

If another case in point is necessary perspective is regularly demonstrated in any televised football match.

When a disputed incident occurs, a goal, a penalty, or a bad tackle, it is examined by the panel of experts and it is viewed from various angles.

Some show it is, some show it’s not and some are inconclusive, but you are able to make a balanced judgement because you have seen it from all the different angles or perspectives or to put it another way you have viewed it through other people’s eyes.

Unfortunately, in normal everyday events we are unable or more likely unwilling to see an issue through another’s eyes.

Is it any wonder that we are so good at war?
