Sifting Through the Crap

When someone says “my life sucks” or “life is pointless”. They have gotten to the point of a still born life. A life caked in dust, a dust so thick that you can’t see whats hiding underneath. This is when we have to consciously “wake up”. Wake up to the fact that something might be missing or something needs to be put away. 

Everyone has something that they would like to change. Be it physical, emotional, psychological or whatever. Sometimes i would like to be bigger, stronger, more muscularly defined. Sometimes I would like to be more grounded in the things I want or the things I’d like to do. Sometimes I’d like to change jobs, for the work I do now does not fulfill me. I wish sometimes I could change the past. Not all of it but just certain parts, bad decisions, wrong turns, wrong words, wrong reactions, bad actions. Everything we do in some shape or form effects who we are, what we are. but not what we are destined to become.

Perspective is the one thing I so very much wish i could change. perspective of how things look, how things appear to be. I have found that perspective is the one single thing that does have effect on what we do, or who we are. For our words, decisions, twists and turns, actions and reactions rely on our perspective of the things that happen in our everyday lives. A man sentenced to life in prison is not done with his job on earth as it might seem. There is always a purpose, after all, more than half of the New Testament was written behind bars. Some great literary works were composed in a jail cell. But not all of life’s situations are as intense. The nerd in school who was always last picked for the team perhaps has a better chance of doing something earth shattering than say the one who was picked, and therefore is handed everything they want, but not necessarily everything they need.  A movie or music that is entertaining to one person isn’t always to someone else. It all has to do with perspective. In the dictionary perspective defined is “the aspect in which a subject or it’s parts are mentally viewed”. People see things not always as they are.
