I get really curious when I encounter someone whose view on a topic is different than my own. I want to ask so many questions, to understand how it looks from their perspective. Our life experiences and where we're standing shape our view of everything. I've seen my own perspectives on so many topics morph over the decades. :)

Sometimes I find we humans seem to be pitted against each other in our views, when there are explanations that might encompass both "sides".

Seems like we all are different from one another.  Different views, different opinions, different culture. ...

When you encounter this do you ask those questions?

It looks like it's time for me to write you a reality check! Or maybe a tiny ad!
