Perspective

While truisms such as "both sides of the story" and "walk a mile in my shoes" offer us hope in understanding the vantage point of opinion, true perspective culminates from lightning fast judgment and experience, sometimes without words. Perspective offers us sanity-moments in a world where we often don’t understand how we fit.

Most importantly, our perspective arises only from within ourselves. We can never know the perspective of another person, no matter how eloquently they verbalize it. Perspective originates in the innocence of a child to the world-weary observations of experience and life-lessons.
