I find it difficult to envision the world others must see. Every person with thier own view of things occurring from moment to moment. My mind drifts from here to there, recieveing only slight glimpses of the thoughts of others, over time i'm coming to see how perception is highly selective, unique, or somehow customized to the person observing life.

While I see the evening to be soothing... gentle... silent...
Others see the vening to be empty... destitute... oppressive..

I suppose it comes down to one's own mind set, developing from childhood on, not knowing how to believe differently. If only we could see with the eyes of others, even if for just one moment, it might be possible to find our common ground. Once we determine the presence of these binding elements, the shift from uncomfortable differences to concerted efforts, whether worldwide or just between two people, could be possible.

During discussions, I often provide points of view opposed to mine to help identify the differences we hold. If it were possible to disclose our differences, it might indeed be possible to reconcile them.

Just some of my thoughts...
