Perspective

Imagine, just for a moment, that you woke up literally seeing out of another person's eyes. Imagine that you moved their body, and thought with their mind, and saw their face in the mirror. What would your reaction be? Imagine going through their entire day, and living their life. How different would it be to be another person? What would it be like to literally walk in the shoes of another? Even if you were to return to your former self the very next morning, the experience would be enlightening. It would almost shatter your entire perception of reality. Then again, perhaps it wouldn't seem real enough to make a difference. Who are we to condone or condemn the actions of another when we have never lived their lives. We don't have their experiences, their personalities, their emotions or their thoughts. We can only see them as an outside observer. Just as they don't know anything about you that you don't show them. Maybe one day we will all be a bit more open with each other. But for now, here is something to consider.

You have a blind spot in each of your eyes that you never notice because your brain filters it out.

Sincerely, Liktomph
