When it Comes to How We See the World…

Rain Outside of the Window

When I am happy, I see the happiness in others. When I am depressed, I notice that people’s eyes look sad. When I am weary, I see the world as boring and unattractive. – Steve Chandler

They say we look at the world through a window, but as the today’s quote so eloquently illustrates, very often this window is more of a mirror.  It can reflect back to us what’s inside of us, so much so that it’s often impossible to tell if we’re looking into a mirror or a window.

If you find that suddenly the world (and the majority of its people) begin to look overwhelmingly negative, I don’t have to tell you the first place you need to look – but it begins with an in and ends with a ward.

    “…When I am weary, I see the world as boring and unattractive.” Okay, obviously, I’m weary! Lol! Great post & good food for thought 🙂

    When I’m lonely I used to face a window and see how gloomy the world is. The window is truly more of mirror.

    This post tells a wise truth. For the person who feels infinite, this moment is eternal. Life feels meaningful when we realize this moment has impact on eternity. We have the ability to create eternal positivity by harnessing good feelings now. Allow yourself to view the eternal world through infinite eyes.

    Like what I have read, EYEs are the window of our soul. And now, window is the mirror of the world.
    Make sense?
    Great article.
