The longer I live and the more I experience, the greater significance I attribute to perspective. As I mature (it has to happen at some point right?) I become more empathetic to different viewpoints, because I've tried more of them on for myself. I see clearly not out at the world but at the lens with which I view it. My opinions have shifted over time, my consternation with other paradigms has subsided. So much of how we see the world is a result of what we have thus far been exposed to, and as you get older that becomes more plain. We can take advantage of this phenomenon by building bridges between attitudes, by synergizing our distinct considerations to form more profound understanding. The world is what we make of it, the result of the energy and action we put forth. It begins with our thoughts, these corporeal manifestations of the universe. What do we think?
