Perception

The light you are seeing things from strongly affects the matter you perceive.

Admit it, everyone is a judgmental being. We grew up from an environment teaching us how to differentiate right from wrong, to say thank you after receiving a present. When you did not, you are rude, even though you appreciated and thank silently in your heart.

Have you ever wonder the feelings of a third party of a relationship or a vengeful murderer, other than being stereotypically judgmental, pointing fingers and commenting it’s just politically wrong? How about asking yourself, if it was you, do you even have the guts to commit such act?

Are you mentally strong enough to go for something you really want? Or are you capable to go all lengths for something you deem unjust? You might be unable to, but I did not judge you. So, think again- why are you judging people whom have totally no relations to you?

A third party of a relationship may love, and willing to fall into an affair that may result in consequence most can’t bear. This is foreseeable, yet they are willing to give it all away. For courageous decision, I give admirable respect, but can you see from the light I see?

Someone kill you father, be it a burglar who accidentally put a knife though his stomach or a deliberate murder, are you capable to turn this vengeful woe into a revenge? Even given a chance that this person is put in front of you armless, and a deathly weapon is in your hands. Such favorable situation, are you capable to end this life by holding the thought of your father?

I’m not commenting which is right from wrong, but some strengths in certain complex situations are worth admiring and to learn from. You may be dismissed by the idea as matters like this are politically wrong. But once you see beyond the surface, these are actually valuable lessons if you channel these strengths into other areas.

There’s nothing wrong with thinking the world is the well, just when you are the frog in the well because that was all you could see. But when you are brought out of the well, keep an open-mind when you see beyond what you normally know. Similar, do not look down when you see another being in a well living inside your well, because you never know who else might be laughing at you from the well which you well is situated.

See things under different light, you might just be pleasantly surprised by what you may gain.
