Perspectives

 

If you are sitting or standing on the ground and look up and see an airplane flying by...  it appears that the airplane is moving across the sky quickly...   BUT, if you were in that airplane looking down at yourself looking up at this airplane crossing the sky, it would appear to you that the airplane is not really moving that fast at all.

How can this be?

This is the relativity theory in action as developed in the mind of Albert Einstein while spending a little time by himself just thinking.

From a writing or artistic point-of-view, this is considered to be perspective and how when you look off into the distance, objects that you see look like they are getting smaller and smaller the farther out you can see.

Perspective is what happens when two people have an argument or disagreement...  it is because their perspectives don't align themselves together.  For instance: some might see a glass containing liquid as being either HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY...  so, who is right?  who is wrong?

Some people might see liberals as saviors while others might see them as lunatics.  Some people might see conservatives as deplorables others might see them leaders.

Our perspectives are different and so much so that currently the United States is divided 50/50 because our perspectives differ...  sounds simple but it is hurting the nation because neither side is willing to compromise so that we can move forward.

And, if the midterms put the conservatives back in power then they will undo everything that the liberal put into place and the nation as a whole moves back to square one.

The only people who benefit from this nonsense are the wealthy.
