When the petrol is being tipped on the fire

There are situations in life when it is best to just step away.

When both sides have lost composure, lost their sense of perspective, when anger has come to the situation.

It is best to walk away, otherwise, we end up just pouring petrol on the flames and neither side wins and everyone loses.

Step back and allow the flames to subside.

Blindness and a spectrum of colour

Wonderfully, thanks to medical advances, the number of people whose sight is completely blind is declining.

Sadly, due to human regression, the number of people ‘blind’ to others, their views and situation is increasing.

To see others we must first learn to understand, listen without evaluation and empathise.

No matter how opposite our worldviews are with another person, we can only influence, if that is what we seek, by understanding their world, their experiences, their environment that has shaped their views.

After all, there is no black and white, right or wrong, just a giant spectrum of different coloured worldviews.
