The weather - although still uncertain and changeable - was quite
warm. I had lots of fun looking at how differently people were clothed. Such a
huge diversity that it seemed almost unbelievable. I saw some wearing
sleeveless tops, others had light shirts or T-shirts on. Nevertheless.... quite a few
were wearing jackets and even hooded winter coats! As usual (it happens when I
see something I find interesting), this great variety made me reflect - once
again- upon the huge difference in perception that human beings
experience. (I know that I often write about the same subjects but... Repetition
leads to Learning) . Just think about it. The weather is the same for
everybody, same temperature, same sunshine. Yet, some feel hot, others warm,
others almost ... freezing. Isn't it intriguing? I believe this to be an
additional proof that reality exists all in the mind. Whatever
we believe to be true, it "is". You may be willing
to think about this apparent contradiction ("Hey, I'm sweating and that
guy is in a windbreaker?" or "I find this to be a rip-off and she says
it's a bargain?"). Such reflection will be useful, in particular, when you
are dealing with someone who has an opinion that greatly differs from yours. You say,
"It's so evident that this candidate is much better than the other one.
How can't he see it?". But, mind you, "he" is thinking exactly
the same about his own political champion (or whatever else you are talking
about). Try to be more lenient, to accept people and things as they are, without any
negative judgment and without trying to impose your opinion. Each is entitled
to their own.
