What we see depends mainly on what we look for... How true is that one simple line?
You can see the glass as half empty or as half full, they both mean the same thing but are from two different points of view; the pessimist and the optimist. Two very different outlooks on life. If you can find, in any situation, no matter how dark and dire it may be, a postitive outlook then maybe you're the one living your life right, not letting anything get you down. However, is that not a sign of naivety? Always the positive one? It's common in young children who do not know what is going around them to be the postive ones. Children take joy and pleasure out of the simplest of things, something I am afraid that you lose as you age. So does always being positive make you naive? Give you the air of a child-like innocent? Even if it does, is that a bad thing? Why should it be? Or are you the complete opposite? Always looking at things from the darkest perspectives. Maybe you are the ones who truly get it, your protecting yourself. It is completley unerstandable. If you don't hold everything up to the highest standard you will never be dissapointed. If you focus on the worst that can happened you will never be taken by surprised, never hurt.
So which one are you? Are you the pessimist, or the optimist? Or are you like me, stuck in the middle, confused?
What we see depends mainly on what we look for, or what we look at. It depends on our outlook on life. So, what are you looking for?
