The view is quite a different one When looking outside in.

The view is quite a different one When looking outside in by Richard WeisserThe view is quite a different one
When looking outside in,
What once seemed to be as plain as day
Is now opaque as tin,
Could I have been so oblivious?
Which led to my chagrin,
Because the view is quite a different one
When looking outside in!
     (R Weisser 2014)

Perspective is an attribute that can be useful when describing any circumstance from one’s own point of view.

Each individual’s life experience is as unique as a snowflake. No two are exactly alike.

So it is also important to recognize that conclusions based on our personal opinion are subject to rebuttal from others that may have a different take on the matter.
After all, it is easier to defend and reinforce your position if you have a clear understanding of opposing viewpoints.

And sometimes, if you step outside of your own ego and take a look at your own standpoint you might just decide that a change of mind is in order!

 

Because everything always appears differently from the outside looking in!

Good morning, Richard.  I only wish that more people could have an understanding of different viewpoints let alone possibly changing theirs.

Richard, The snowflake comparison is apt.  We're all different, different experiences and views, sometimes we'll come to agreement, sometimes not, and sometimes there's fun in the debate, and sometimes, well maybe another day :)

Richard...stepping back and looking at yourself can be scarry and for those who feel they like who they are they won't see what they need to
