| Perspective We live our life through our eyes, our eyes see through our heart, and our heart get's it's reasoning from the brain. The way our brain preseves things is the way in which we live out our life. I don't know how anybody sees this world except for the way I see it. And the way I see it may be totally different from the way you see it, or he sees it, or she sees it, but we'll never know, now will we, because I have nothing to compare it to. Just like you don't know what pleasure is, if you've never had pain, and you'll never know how much sun on a cloudy day can cheer you up, until you don't have any sun at all. And without this, I just have to surmise, that I am the only one, I am and indiviual, I'm the only one to see the world like I do. And that makes me feel lonely, not knowing if you understand what I tell you, if you don't understand how I see, how I feel, how I know you. So we might as well be complete strangers, because I don't know you at all, yet, dispite our world of differences, we have one common, which will unite us, unite us as a world, as a society, and as human beings, until we cannot see, feel, or hear our fellow people. All I ask is that you understand that I may be ununderstandable, and that maybe, we can find each other on some other level, of which our perspective meets, and we can be free, free to be ourselves unlike anyone knows us, unlike anybody understands us, just to be, just to feel, like us, and to talk like us, and just to be us. -Michelle |

ThoughtspaceMine | 12-24-02 6:06pm This is why communication between persons, which so often is an attempt to explain the inexplicable, the uncommunicable, is of such deep importance in human relationships. Perhaps it is not so important that our perspectives merge so much as that they overlap, and not the complete and mutual understanding that is key so much as the idea that someone cares enough to seek that overlap and explore it fully, and would then try to comprehend as far as possible that which lies beyond in shadow, plumbing the unseen depths by listening, building a commonality and expanding that overlap not through common experience, or even by common outlook, but by common humanity. |
Upchuck | Re:, 12-25-02 7:25pm Well, it's a nice thought. Not my writing though. It's my sister's. I just thought it made so much sense at the time.

| ThoughtspaceMine | Dilemma, 12-27-02 3:11am I wrote out my reply to your previous comment; unfortunately, it came to almost a full page of text. Not wishing to put that much information into a column three inches wide, I have posted it in my journal. The rest of the replies will have to wait until a less ridiculous hour of the morning, I'm afraid. |
