A meditation on the mind

We see our lives as through

A filter,

*

Thus does the world seem

Out of kilter;

*

Perhaps if we could see

Aright,

*

We might behold a

Different sight.

Author's Note

As we grow, we are exposed to many beliefs, some of them quite negative. If not corrected, they can comprise a negative worldview, which would impact our lives
for the worse.

In total agreement here. Perhaps there would be less hate and suffering in the world if everyone just let go of their own intolerance, which have probably been instilled in them by older generations to begin with, which seeped into their way of thinking at two young an age and feel like a part of their mindset now.
People should really have a word with themselves before tying their colours to any mast.
Superbly captured, as ever John.

Thanks, Lorry. There are many who trust the negatives instilled in them by their elders. Take Putin, for instance.

So wonderfully stated in your unmistakable poetic style. Your words are correct, it is all in how we see things...do we trust our eyes or trust what someone else tells us we are seeing?

Thanks, W. Unfortunately, many seem to trust sources like Q-Anon.
