Windows or Mirrors

So maybe philosophy is not my strong point. I have started thinking about life in general. Yesterday at work I encountered a customer. She happened to be the mother of a previous employee of our store. All she could say about all the girls at our store were good things. In her eyes every single one of the girls was the sweetest girl. I know for a fact that not very many of these sweet girls have their not so sweet moments. But this got me to thinking about perspectives. Every single person has a different perspective. You can give the same painting to three different people and they would probably see three different things in that painting. Not only would they focus on different things within the painting but they would interpret it in different ways. How do you do things in a way that everyone will understand what you mean. Well the truth is that you can’t there is no way that everyone is going to come to the same understanding. You can however try to understand their way of looking at it and begin to see the world from other perspectives. The world is like a window and not a mirror. That might not make the most sense in the world but let me try and explain. Instead of looking and simply seeing yourself or your view (mirror), look through the window of another’s perspective.
