Stepping out of our bubbles

Posted on by philipdodson

Often in life without realising we are wrapped up in our bubbles.

We do not stop from the routine to seek what is all around us.

We are surrounded by other humans, neighbours, people from other towns, from other countries, other backgrounds, cultures, races, and so on. Yet we know so little about them, apart from what we see through our own lenses and through the lenses of others. Judging without knowing for ourselves.

We could choose to take away the lenses, we could choose to knock on our neighbours doors, we could choose to seek others, we could choose to listen to others. To hear the real story and see it without the distortion of the lenses we place.

We could choose to step out from our bubbles.

What are we scarred of finding out?

Someone else’s eye

Look at the world through another pair of eyes.

Perhaps those of someone you judge to be less fortunate.

Our perspective changes.

We always seem to look at the world through the eyes of someone who appears to have it all.

Our eyes are often blinded by what we do not have.

Open them to what you already have.
