perspective is everything

Perspective is everything.  What do Israelis think about the war with Hamas and Hezbolla?  What do Palestinians think about the war?

Perspective is everything.

Now, I love thanksgiving.  It is probably my favorite holiday, but I read this the other day and it reminded me that perspective is everything.

"While Americans celebrate Thanksgiving as a harvest festival following colonists' survival, Indigenous people observe the holiday with sadness, since it commemorates the European immigration influx that ultimately took away their lands and cultures."

We may not agree with other's perspectives and we may not like their thoughts and feelings, but I think that it is important to remember that there are more ways to see the world than the way that we see the world.

We will never understand others until we take the time to consider their perspective or walk a mile in their moccasins.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
