Perspective...

"All of us interpret, for the most part, without even knowing. We all read reality through the lens of our fears, desires, assumptions, and judgments. Of course, we need our interpretations: They serve as filters to domesticate the uncanny and provide stability and order. But every time we settle on one perception, every time we stop turning over a story, we limit our understanding and miss a deeper insight. In other words, we stunt meaning."
