Look into my eyes and what do you see? Well? You see yourself. We all have a unique way of looking at things but this is very limiting. The next time we look at something try this. Try to see using another's eyes. Use a different perspective and you will see that you don't have to be limited by your point of view or your perspective. This little experiment helps you to realize that your perspective is never really right or wrong. It is just a snapshot in time and space as you look through your little window of reality. Here's an example. Imagine taking a flight. The pilot tells you that the skies are clear and there is perfect visibility for 10 miles.
In the distance you see a large cloud with heavy weather hovering over an island. As you fly past the cloud you imagine (use the eyes) of the people on the ground in that island and wonder how they are fearing with the bad weather. Switch places now. Those on the ground are having a hard time .Floods are raging,there is lightning and thunder, houses being washed away, lives are being altered and desolation and despair abound.
Now if those experiencing the devastation and despair were to use your eyes as they look up and see your plane passing by, they would simply say that their experience is transitory,and no more a reflection of loss and devastation than your comfortable experience in flight. They would put it all into perspective. They would realize that this is the way of the world neither bad or good. Just a changing kaleidoscope of events which we interpret through our eyes. Look into my eyes and you will see only good.
