HOW I VIEW THE WORLD

 

There are a variety of factors…a multitude of influences that have made me who I am…the person I’ve come to be…that have shaped how I view the world…and all the people  whom I see.

 

I like to think I view the world the way it was intended when I was created by the Gods above…through eyes that are filled with kindness and understanding..through eyes that are filled with love.

 

I love the way I view the world…so it should come as no surprise

how I wish everybody in the world…could view it through my eyes.

 

But I also know there were a variety of factors…a multitude of influences that made you who you are…the person you came to be…that have shaped how you view the world…and everyone you see.

 

Knowing we were all created equally but differently it should come as no surprise how every one of us in this world views the world through slightly different eyes.

 

What I find disturbing, however, in a world created to be a paradise…where love was to be our fate…is how many people, for whatever reason, have come to view the world through the eyes of hate.

 

I’m not sure what it is within us humans that allows the cancer of hate to endure….but I do know that in all our history we have yet to find a cure.

 

I now accept everyone in the world through a different set of eyes will see…and I don’t expect everyone in the world to see the world like me….

 

What I pray for now…is when our hate has finally destroyed us…

when there’s no one left to fight….

the creators of the new world…

will

next time 

get it right.

Beautiful,

..but I think the creator(s) got it right. We were given many roads to travel down. This is the one we chose, though obviously it was not so simple - tugs in many directions have landed us here. When it starts over, someday, that choice - I imagine - will be presented once again. If we can work more in unison, and respond less defensively to each others tugs, the tugs will mostly become less aggressive, till it's words of suggestion before tugs. Perhaps, someday, in some place, it will turn out that way.
