Perspective is a free choice

I can see both. We were looking at this picture in Uni this week talking about perspectives. Sometimes we have to try looking t thing differently to get the whole picture . Love the haiku, Sis 🙂

Erika, I like the clever phrasing. Sometimes, you need to close your eyes, take a deep breath and look again and ask why? We have this issue here of pro football players kneeling during the national anthem to protest the lack of civil rights for African-Americans. More people need to ask why would they risk so much by making such a calm civil protest in a storm.

The best answer to the question came from a third generation soldier. He commented as so many were saying these players were insulting our military. He said my grandfather, my father and I all fought against those who could not civilly protest in their countries or they would be killed or arrested. The right for a citizen to civilly protest is an essential civil right. To deny that is to deny what the flag and anthem stand for.

Wow, that’s a powerful motivation behind and makes complete sense to me. I honor them for doing that. They are heard and seen and their protest can truly have a much deeper impact to make people think and provoke a change!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is even more interesting for us non-American citizens!

Erika, thanks. The man in the White House is trying to make this a patriotic issue, but these guys are protesting lack of civil rights. You may recall the 1968 Olympics when John Carlos and Tommie Smith did Black Power fist raises on the medal stand. Many commented how unAmerican that was. Yet, the context is many African-Americans boycotted the 1968 Olympics. These guys were there and won. Protest is supposed to make people think and these two and the current NFL players are making them think. Keith

Since I was born two years later I don’t have that much memories on that. Also I cannot remember that I ever heard of it later. So, thank you very much for sharing this moving and important part of American history, Keith. It is so important that we always stand tall for each other. We all have the same needs and feel the same pain. Wonderful what brothers and sisters are willing to risk for each other!!

Our own view – free choise. Therefore it’s important that we more often should take a second look, even if we think we know it. Finest details can have a big impact.
We also have to look at things ourselves and not just believe in others.

Yes, exactly! The way we look at life is subjective. And each perspective is true. How we look at life in this moment defines the step we take in the next one. Therefore there are endless perspectives for millions of individual life journeys!

Now, we need to ask a psychologist what that means… lol! The necklace of the young lady is the mouth of the old woman and the ear of the young lady is the eye of the old woman… can you figure it?
