9/30/2019 The Bigger Picture



Seeing the whole picture is good. It helps to establish empathy and growth. It helps us to find lessons in life that we'd have overlooked had we not taken the time to see the bigger picture. What's frustrating about seeing the bigger picture is when you get real good at it, it's hard to pick a side. It's hard to really dislike a person when you learn to understand that they are acting out in fear or in pain. Seeing the bigger picture allows you to outgrow hate and judgement but it's frustrating to be like that. It is easier to be angry and storm off . However, there's no growth in that option. While taking time to see the bigger picture, I don't know what's going to happen in every situation. The uncertainty is scary, but stagnancy is much worse. I'd rather grow from something than keep repeating the same mistake over and over again. So, it is frustrating, but in the end it's the ability to learn and move forward that matters.

Writing helps me in so many ways. And reading helps me sleep. I always pack those two things if I'm going to be somewhere. Being proactive can be a lifesaver That's for sure.

Whose words hold the most weight?

I am a private person. I don't like to trust just anyone. With that being said, I am transparent, especially in my writing. At one point my opinions may change and I always try to acknowledge that in my writing. The reason why I acknowledge that is because I am always learning and trying to understand new thoughts and concepts. I always like to look at situations and think, ok, but what if I'm wrong. So the point to all this is I was thinking why are my words worth listening to? Does my honesty and transparency make me better than a liar? Absolutely, not. We are both human and full of error. But, does that make my words carry more weight than a liar? Weight as in, I will try my best to convey what happened or explain the perception that makes most sense to me. Not with the idea that I would hold absolute truth. No no. So whose words hold more weight, the honest man or the liar? The right answer should be the honest man. However, it seems in this world, people prefer the
