No one of us has the same perspective as another. Actually, it is impossible for us to have the same perspective as anyone else. When you or I or any other group of two or more look at something, no two or more of us is perceiving the same reality. For illustration, assume that you and I are both looking at a cloud moving across the sky some distance away. You and I will have a different experience of the cloud. This is occurs simply because we can not both be in the exact same place at the exact same time, at least not physically, but that’s another story.
If you can imagine many people scattered around the local area and all looking at the cloud, there would obviously be many perspectives regarding the cloud. Again each perception of the cloud must be different. Thus the perception of each of us must be different and can not be the same.
Recognition of this principle in our experience, provides some beneficial ideas. One idea is that we need not expect that our perception is the same, or even similar to another’s. When we realize that this is impossible for us human beings to perceive anything the same as another person does, we can more easily let go of our expectations of others. Releasing these expectations gives rise to the idea that we can only share unlike perceptions of reality with other human beings. And the sharing of these perceptions is obscured by differences in understanding words, meaning and emotional content of the description we create about the perception.
So when we look at a cloud, a flower or anything else in the world, including each other, we understand that the beauty of life lies in its variation and variety. What could be more enjoyable for us than to share our deep and rich experience with each other?
