Change of perspective

“Silverfish looked down.
"Oh. Are you a dwarf?"
Cuddy gave him a blank stare.
"Are you a giant?" He said.
"Me? Of course not!"
"Ah. Then I must be a dwarf, yes.” 
― Terry Pratchett
Attitude is how you react towards life - positive and full of gratitude or negative and bitter - life is unfair attitude. There is another aspect to life , an aspect that took me a long time to realize, it is the perspective of life. Life as we see it, relationships as we perceive it. Every object, every relationship, everything in life is based on how we perceive it  A house from 1000 feet above is going to look different. A calm lake or the soothing sound of ocean will be different from the shores than when you actually dive into it. An object under microscope is going to give you a totally different view.

Truth is  based on our perception. If we take ourselves too seriously, every slight?, every rejection will seem like end of the world. Life can be lived like a tourist - just enjoy the good parts.. after all we are just passerby, or lived like the locals... the choice is ours.

I have always had a serious  perspective of life - yes diving deep to find meanings in the depths, always ending up thought gasping for breath with nothing in hand. I have decided to change my perspective and live life- maybe on the shorelines, maybe just distancing myself and consciously be selective about the vantage points.

I want to look at life from upside down perspective - head over heals. Maybe I have been looking at it wrong all this time. Maybe we are all meant to look at it at from a viewpoint that makes us laugh... after all who knows what the truth is - and who cares. People can either be ignorant and happy or seek the truth and search for meaning and be unhappy.

So here I am - making a resolution - I am sure it is a New Year celebration somewhere in the world, to try and look at life from different perspective and same react with the same attitude of gratitude.
