I think people only see what they want to see.
That's not me being cynical and pessimistic, it's what I honestly believe.
We view the world - the people, places, events even - that surround us out of our own personalized rose colored glasses. We see the best of people, we see the worst of people, but do we ever see people for who they really are?
Whether we do it out of love or to maintain a selfish ignorance, we do it. We keep our expectations too high or too low, but do we ever really give people the benefit of doubt, or acceptance?
It's something that has been on my mind lately. I am not saying it's a bad thing. Maybe it's even necessary in our society, with as many issues as we have, and how self-absorbed we tend to be.
I am trying to keep my eyes wide open, as well as my mind. But those glasses tend to be hard to remove...
