Perspectives

Why is it that life and the ideas that one has about it are not congruent? Why is it that they are not in alignment? Is it perhaps that they bear little or no relationship to each other? Life is presenting itself in a certain way and one is imagining it as something else. You see, it is you who makes things appear the way that they appear. It is you who divides the this from the that. It is you that makes the this this and the that that. It is the way that you see and think about things that determines how they appear to you.
