# Final Day Of The Week
Today I just wanna talk about perspective.
Had my GEM lecture today on Heavenly Mathematics : Cultural Astronomy. Does the Earth go round the Sun or the Sun go round the Earth. In a bizzare manner, both are correct, in their own view.
Perspective is powerful, it got Gallileo into a whole lot of trouble. It caused many people to not figure out the mysteries of space, and today, it causes many people to disagree. Not just on celestial dynamics, but to things that are so close to us, even to personal relationships.
This blog is not an academic essay so im sorry if the arguments are not structured or in any ordered sequence of logic, but here's some of my thoughts. And don't worry, my brain is only this complex less than 50% of the time. (I'll let you go figure how much that means =)
Our perspective of others, and ourselves.
My personal opinion
I always see other people as if they've got it all. Friends, fun, future, family. I mean, im not delusional, I know that not everyone has everything, but I seem to always see close-to-perfection in others. Even if I don't name names I think you might know who im talking about but i wanna share with you some heroes in my life.
Individual A
A person who takes God at His word. Has trusted God and seen God come through in so many places. More than capable leader of 10, has allowed God to lead. Can draw quite a good line between fun and discipline. Love and true love. Wise, not as men would acknowledge. A challenger in life. Fierce and having high standards. I have yet to see the other side.
Individual B
Calm and composed. Capable leader. Constructive. Perseveres. Yet apparently fragile. Trusts God and inspires others to do likewise. Has favour with all men. Talented. Perseveres (yes, 2nd time). Trustworthy. Persevere's on, living the High Life.
Individual C
Strong, yet apparently fragile too. An accomplisher. Inspirational leader. And to me, somehow unnoticed. Which isn't a bad thing. Then again, like B, trustworthy, faithful. Extreme even, in faith. Believes for great things, not disappointed with the lot in life.
Ok, i've kind of given up trying to describe people without actually mentioning names, but yeah.. these people seem to me to have got it right. And I want that too. Im hungry for more. But also afraid to pay the price. I know I've thought and talked it through, there really is no reason to be for His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Back to perspective, what I jsut said about those people, they themselves may not agree or even see what I see, in themselves and others. Yet to me, in my honest opinion, from my viewpoint, there is something I wish I had that they had.
I think I already know this about myself. Both the good and bad of it : I see almost only the good in people
I know there was a second part about perspectives i wanted to write about, but it seems as if it has slipped my mind. Oh well, it's Bible reading time. hope to reach mid John by tonight (=
To those who've read till here, thanks for your time and God is real (=
the story ends like this;
