The Way You See the Wolrd

When you look at music store, does it draw you? Are you anxious to go into it and explore what's inside? Maybe it doesn't, but it draws me into it. Some people get very excited when they see a dog in the street; they feel it is their duty to save the dog. Some people pay no attention to the dog, and just continue on with their day. Some people see a church and see something that is against what they think is right. I see a group of people trying to honor their beliefs.
Our situations in life, our age, what we know, and what we like and don't like, these all play a special role in the way we see things. One may see something on the street that isn't necessarily interesting to oneself, but maybe it's something great for another person. For example, I might see a building that hasn't been painted for a while and I won't really care, but when my grandmother sees it, she goes crazy saying how people don't take care of things the way they should. I see a piano and I am immediately compelled to play it, other might just go as far as taking a glance at it. We go around every day taking care of our agenda or whatever it is we have to do. We don't stop as often as we should to take a look at the sky, or the trees or nature in general. If we stopped to look, we might see that we are incredibly small compared to what the world is. Then again, others might just see the sky without really thinking about it, and they would go on with their day.
There are people who see a canvas and see a place to let their imaginations run wild with beautiful results, but I just think about how terrible I am at painting. Some see war as death, others see it as money and land gained; but of course, these are the people who wage the wars.
What I am trying to say, reader, is that the world is full of things that we don't necessarily see; things that exist in the eyes of some, but not all. That, I believe, is something that makes this world even more complex and awe inspiring; but of course, that is the way I see it.
