“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”
- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
Everything seems to be a matter of perspective, doesn't it? From motion (in 4th grade "physics") to how we all choose to look at the world - there must be an objective "truth" out there, but the more important part of the matter is how we choose to accept it. Is it an opportunity or a road block? Is it a challenge I can overcome or is it going to cripple me?
For some reason, this quote made me think of a song from Good News (the musical), which is called "The Best Things in Life Are Free" - I think it was because this song shows that the everyday-ness of certain things are often overlooked, but these are truly incredible, wonderful things for all of us to enjoy. We just need to open our eyes to appreciate what is around us!
