Reasons and Excuses

Hi All (to whoever may be reading)

This is my first of many posts talking about anything and everything. For those who know me well, you can expect to see more of my poems up here. For those who will get to know me...expect my poems up here :-P

First post, is what the title vaguely suggests. The reason and excuse for this post (sometimes, reason's and excuses go together) is that I need an outlet as many people do. I will use this to vent out opinions, share my ideas and do whatever it is that I feel on a whim. Please do comment and state your opinion. I do not take offence at anything as even all of this, is just an opinion.

So, to get into my opinion. The reason's that are given, or that we give for any event or circumstance is in itself to convince not everyone else, but mainly yourself. You will refer to it as a reason and others may see it as an excuse. Perhaps that is the problem with many things. Our perspective.

Should we change our perspective? Or have we come to rely on it so much that change is near impossible? Why can't we change...why can't we take on a new perspective. There will always be some things that people will never change their mind about, nor even consider another side.

What is it that you have? What perspective are you unwilling to change...about gay rights, about abortions, about big issues and about small one's. My advice...Have as many perspectives as possible, see an issue through everyone's eyes and from every angle.

Whatever you may see, whatever you may do...
Try a different angle, and you may feel full.

A little more content, perhaps more understanding.
Maybe even glad, as your perspectives start expanding.

The way you see the world is not enough.
Simply seeing, is not enough.

Look past the emotion, look to the horizon.
And maybe, just maybe, you will be that little bit wiser.
