Sometimes i think people live life as if they were looking through a pair of binoculars.

It seems to me, that through the eyes of our own consciousness (our own minds ideas, upbringing, emotional state etc…) everything is magnified. We look through our lenses and see life and the world as something much bigger than it probably should be, especially if the particular thing has to do with ourselves.

Sometimes, when i dont expect it, the binoculars get pulled away from my eyes. The world is so much bigger than i think it is. There are other people around me looking at the same situation with a completely different thought process and most definitely a different solution or outcome. Sometimes it still amazes me that other people think differently than i do, not because i think they’re wrong or that they should think like me, but because i cant fathom any other way of thinking, because again, i live my life through the lenses of my own consciousness.

And so does everyone else.

And they’re all looking at the world through their own pair of binoculars.

rather abstract, i apologize.
