How We See Each Other

Happiness

It is better, in my opinion, to seek to understand other people’s point of view and to respect them, even when disagreeing with their opinion. This is to try and see all people as having good sides and bad, with good habits and bad, with good fortune and with problems.

We all, really, want to be happy and avoid pain. And if we think about the people we know, those who are our friends and those we call wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, we accept these people, warts and all.  We look past any of the imperfections that they may have and we see them as beautiful people, often because of these imperfections.

Though, the way we see our partners will always be different from the way others see them, because we all see things differently, which in itself makes us all individuals. However, this capacity to see past imperfections and see beauty in others is something that we all can do, it is an ability we all share, to varying degrees.

Always Look For Beauty

Happiness

For some the day ahead seems to be filled with boredom, for some it is dread. Many have felt the devastating sting of loss that makes it difficult to carry on. Many live the same day every day through the repetition of events and interactions. Many feel lost and don’t know what to do with their day. Many feel as if they have reached rock bottom. Many feel as if they are drowning in debt.

These are realities for a lot of people, but every day there is still beauty in the world. A smile, a sunset, a song, a flower, an opportunity to be generous, an opportunity to be kind. The world is full of beauty and the opportunity to create it. The negative things in life can cause us to be blind to them, so we must actively look for beauty every day. This will increase our sense of gratitude and improve our wellbeing.

It will not solve all of our problems, but it will put us in a better position to solve those problems for ourselves.
