We see, assess, and evaluate through the corrective lens of our teachings and experiences. We do this unconsciously without regard for or appreciation of different perspectives. But yet, trying to understand the perspectives of others is paramount in a functioning society. The world isn’t just how you or I see it. It is a beautiful mix of colors, angles, shadows, and fractured scenes, all blending into our perspective. We should appreciate and learn from other ideas and concepts as they add to the richness of our understanding. If you lived only in and understood an additive world, the ideas of subtraction would violate every pretext of existence, yet 6+4=14-4. Obstacles always arise; rise to their challenge. Don’t let perception be the obstacle that blinds you to a broader understanding. 25.09
