offwiththeirdollheads | The Perspective Game (Reply)

We forget to look around and observe the world outside from our own individual perspective. It's not uncommon knowledge that there is not one true perspective as we all experience the world in our own unique way. There are only so many words we can use to convey how we experience 'life as we know it'. Even the most articulate of people will never truly paint a picture of how they view the world, even with a novel's worth of perfectly formed sentences detailing each breath and thought as they occur in real time. I am sure they will make a very good translation but there will never be another individual sat inside the cosy confines of a person's brain and be given the opportunity to look out at the world through their eyes. It's too easy to get caught up in our day-to-day dramas or routines. Trust me, I know. Sometimes we have to be the ones to throw that bucket of ice cold water over ourselves when we are tempted to hit the snooze button once again. Sometimes we need to be the ones to give ourselves a hard pinch or force ourselves out the front door and lock it and throw away the key. It is only until then that we can start to change the cycle and change our perspective. Everything takes a little work.
