People often assume things without a clear perspective. I saw a short clip on Facebook about a woman who would criticize her neighbor because every time she hung out her clothes they didn’t look clean. She said this a few times. One day when she looked out her window the woman remarked that her neighbor finally learned how to wash her clothes.They were very clean. Her husband said that was not the case. He woke up early that morning and washed all their windows. So, now everything looked better. The woman just really needed a clear perspective. It was clear in more ways than one as the woman assumed incorrectly. Many people view life and events without a clear perspective. Often individuals assume things and are completely wrong. For example, a person may see that a politician, a religion, a news event, or even another individual strictly from their own perspective. The sad part is that without all the facts they might be wrong. They may think that a certain person is bad. In an old “Leave it to Beaver” a neighbor who was older and lived in a run down home was, from the Beaver’s perspective, a witch. She wanted him to walk her dog but he was afraid of her. Finally, the dad, Ward, asked the Beaver why and he said he was sure she was a witch. In reality, she was a widow who simply lived alone with her dog. Finally, through a great deal of effort on Ward’s part, the Beave changed his perspective. He discovered the lady was quite nice and he even walked her dog every day without asking for money. This is also true within the family dynamics. Many families have difficulty getting along as they each have their own perspective about all events and how they feel about family members. Part of this type of behavior is in my book, “Misplaced Trust.” Do you clarify your perspective on thoughts, ideas, people, and relationships?
