Yesterday I got it wrong
The man behind me in line was not impatient
He was late
Today he smiles at another customer
And jokes about the dog doing tricks outside
Today, instead of silence from the regular crowd,
I hear laughter
It's a relief to know
my perceptions are so variable
that one day I can see nothing but hostility
and the next day nothing but love.
excellent. works really well as a companion piece to the first. often misconceptions such as the one you made stem from within, with what the ego wants to see. i spent a long time seeing only darkness in people before realising that was what i wanted, to revel in the darkness of the world.

Yes I believe perspective is key to understanding and maneuvering the world. If we can't see that our internal experiences are only skewed versions of reality then we are lost
