Perspective

I think a lot of times we can forget how important perspective is in nearly every situation of our every day life. We all hear the phrase, "It's all in your perspective," but how often do actually sit down to choose what glasses we're going to put on before taking action?

And again, as in all things, there is a gray area here. Deluding one's self into thinking all is well as the world crumbles around them is no answer, but nor is the feeling of utter helplessness that one can feel from that tower shaking.

The best example I can give comes from my song of the week.

When someone -- let's say a bank teller, for example -- says something as simple as, "Have a nice day!" we can take this one of two ways. Some would think, "Well that was nice. So many people forget to say things like that anymore or don't bother to take the time." But on the other hand, another person might think, ""Why would they say that? You don't even know me and couldn't care less if I even died."

Both perspectives? Absolutely true.

So now it comes down to personal choice. Which are you going to choose?

And when I hear of one more bomb, yes we have all been robbed of song and nightengales who throw their arms up -- when is enough enough?
