Attitude, stance, angle, frame of mind, frame of reference, approach, way of looking, interpretation… These are all ways of saying the same thing, that of perspective.
We all need it and can’t possible be striped of it, unless we all go robot like in another dimension. Perspective is what makes everyone so different or alike. What makes Bobby see the world this way and Sue see it that way? Perspective. What it all boils down to is that perspective matters a great deal. There are many factors that make up ones perspective. Childhood, parenting styles, trials, thoughts, emotions, failures, triumphs, you name it, and it probably played a significant part in the total factor. So what’s the point you ask?
My point is this, how we view the world matters. How you view your neighbor matters, how you view your children, coworkers, a stranger on the street, or the bag lady all matter. Because in the end, how we view people is how we treat them. Plain and simple. If you view them with any quality that adds something to your life and with regard, you treat them with such. If you don’t then well it’s all the same, they are treated justly. This is why perspective matters.
There is another interesting thing about perspective, it can be a choice. A choice on how you view any one thing regardless of your pervious factors. That is why it’s called a perspective, a point of view of any such belief, or an opinion. How will you choose to react or not react? How will this choice affect another, it’s all a chain reaction steaming from one point of reference, that of perspective. Lets just hope its more in focus than out.
