Different perspectives can make you who you are

Some people forget all about perspective when it comes to their own excuses, opinions, or situations. Everyone has their own personal feelings about home, work experiences, and interacting with people, each that have their own outcomes. Without thinking, some people may offend others through emotion or words and never think about apologizing – is it right or wrong?

Admittedly, there’s a sense of superiority that some people give off and sometimes without a care in the world. Is it due to background or is just the way they want to live their life?

In reality, I never wanted to spend time to think that there are selfish people who don’t care about others, the environment, or places in the world, but like I said before – it’s reality. No one wants to talk to the person who closes themselves off, or the guy that stands at the corner asking for money for himself and his dog. There are people who some may never know and probably never will, due to the lack of compassion or care in their life. It reminds me of “old Portland.”

Without thinking, I’ve passed by people and offered food or whatever I could; there’s still the bias of people thinking that some have more than others, due to their spending habits. Yes, people take things for granted and (uncommonly) there are those who hate what they have and choose to give as much as they can. Through experience, some don’t like to believe that other people just might be telling the truth when it comes their lives. Some choose to belittle those they don’t really know behind their backs and sometimes right to their face. Whether it’s a friend, co-worker, or acquaintance, there are people who like to create drama and it becomes an uncomfortable environment.

It’s not the fact that people are greedy; nowadays, there are just people who lack compassion and perspective when it comes to any given situation. I honestly feel that people are a bit numbed, due to the overwhelming amount of technology that surrounds them.

No one wants their feelings hurt, but people purposely or inadvertently do it to others, anyway. What’s the meaning or point of that?

Some people just want to help, and others may perceive that and choose to take advantage. On the other hand, there are those who  appreciate it and show it through words, actions, and emotion. People who understand are, quite honestly, underrated and unappreciated. The kindness of others shows from time to time and it’s so rare, that the journalistic world chooses to publicize it as a rarity or an uncommon event.

Due to the craze of social media, the minimal amount of education for children about the internet, and the “rarity” of small acts of kindness, some people have become immune to the real world.
