I’m looking at the mirror on the wall, through my rise and
fall you’ve been my only friend.
We often perceive ourselves differently to the way others do.
The world through our eyes is a world that does not exist through the eyes of
others. Our worlds differ.
Yet we don’t understand the differences in the worlds we
see, experience and feel. Joining two worlds to create a new one, do we notice
how our flaws cause perfections in the new world? Do we see how our perfections
cause flaws in the new world?
Do we see? Or are we blinded by the world we live in to
notice how another’s has changed?
Are we able to empathise? Can you see from someone else’s
perspective how something may appear to them? How they may feel considering the
world they came from? Or are we expecting them to experience the same as us?
‘If only you could walk a mile in my shoes’ ‘If only you
could see what I see’
If only we took the time to understand where each other
comes from, and what brought us to today, would we be able to get along? Would we be
able to move forward? Would we not be angry at the things that hurt us that
another did not perceive to be as significant in their world as it was in
yours?
Would we be at peace?
Would our worlds be at harmony?
