'Morning folks! How the hell are ya this mornin'! Coffee's on! Grab a cup and get comfortable for a bit! Get yer day sorted out before ya get rollin'! Paper'll be here directly!
I been thinkin' a bit about somethin' Was wonderin' how some of you folks might feel about it! We've all heard about rose colored glasses before. One time or another anyway. I was thinkin' about takin that thought and goin' a little further with it. Well, we've covered some of it before, but this is takin' a look at it from a different direction.
With rose colored glasses you see everything in a 'rosey' light. You see nuthin' but the good in things. Which kinda leaves reality outta yer worldview. Reality is sometimes harsh and ya gotta be prepared for that in yer day to day livin'. Things ain't always rosey, so to speak. Would that they were, but they ain't and that's what we gotta live with.
Now, what I was thinkin' about is that we all see the world through different colored glasses. We experience things through our own lives. What we've lived through and what we've done and seen goin' on around us. Environment, if you will let me get away with that loaded word for this visit over the topic at hand.
Which is: how we all see things from a slightly different perspective.
One sees more good in those around him, another sees more evil. One sees opportunity, another sees only despair. One cannot fathom the true evil in the world, while another sees the threat for what it is. One sees only the color of yer skin, while another sees only the person who happens to wear that skin, whatever color it is. One cannot fathom hunger or want or need. Someone else lives with it every day. One lives, surrounded by love, another really doesn't know what it is or what it means.
These are just a few examples and extreme examples at that. In any case, these experiences and others like them form who we are, how we make decisions, what we do or become, and how other percieve us through our actions and words and deeds.
The Book says to examine yerself. Truth. Honesty. Love. These are the things that matter and they will overcome all manner of other ways of seeing things. Another way of saying the same thing is; Honor, Courage, Committment.
Just something to think about while you warm up yer coffee this morning.
We got a new opportunity folks! Don't screw it up on me!
LOL.
Go take advantage of it today. We can get it right.
