Eyes are our windows to the great wide world and there is little we do not perceive by our own judgements and thoughts. Once sight is sent out and cast upon its target, our mind shall receive and perception is then formed.
All is one and the same, the same world, the same age, the same passing of time. The very earth that we walk upon and the very air we breathe is the same in technicality. But to each unique one, it is different.
In various moods we perceive things to be of a different nature, not seeing the world as it is, being the bliss of some and the torment of others. Those who seek to see the world for what it truly is never succeeds for this is an Imperfect world, corrupted by the plague of sin.
To the happy, the world is the sun, ever bright and blazing, warm and homely.
To the sorrowful, the world is a great sea, salty and vast, bearing a million tears.
To the depressed, the world is formed of pits and every step is of peril.
To the mad, the world is distorted and their perception changes time and again.
To the burdened, the world is studded with boulders and of which are too huge to shove away.
To the fools, the world is their kingdom and they proclaim themselves wisest of the lot.
To the wise, the world bears an army of troubles but they have a sword for defense.
To the troubled, the world heaps stones onto their hearts.
To the carefree, they live by day as each comes after passing of the night.
To the muddled, the world is their maze, towering high and ever intimidating.
To the clear-minded, the world is the ladder which they climb to reach the top.
To the fearful, the world is a darkness, a dwelling place of shadow.
To the confident, the world is lit with a million flames and they fear no darkness.
To some, Life is a bed of roses, sweet smelling, serene and fragrant.
To others, Life is a raging sea, powerful, dark and threatening.
How do you perceive the world?
