A quote from Plato recently caught my attention. “Be considerate, because believe me, everyone you encounter is struggling just as hard as you.”
I thought approaching it from this perspective might make life a little easier. There are many negative events that we encounter in our daily lives. Our tolerance level towards people is decreasing day by day. We think, why can't the other person think about this? Instead of trying to make sense of it, we immediately blame it. Because;
uneducated,
uninformed,
uncouth,
have we placed it in adjectives such as. To our relief, we stuck the label. In fact, there is no person who does not do this. It is an element that relaxes us from life and prevents us from thinking about anything. Some people do things we don't want and fit perfectly into the molds we want them to fit into. But what we overlook is that, as Plato said, those people are "fighting just as hard as you." This does not mean that I am fighting this struggle and he should understand me. This may change our perspective on life a little bit. This way, we can approach people one step more with understanding. Instead of finding labels for them, they must have experienced something that made them so careless, careless, or irrational enough to risk their lives or the lives of other people.
What could these experiences be?
It varies from person to person. Along with this, people's childhood is very valuable for their adulthood. The conflicts here, unresolved parental relationships, and some unresolved issues can make people aimless and perhaps careless about life. At this point, if people can realize this and start their own therapy processes, their perspective and perception of the world in such an unsympathetic and conflicting world may change towards being rosy.
Of course, the "rosy" here is metaphorical. Otherwise, it will not be healthy to completely ignore the problems in life and swim in the sea of happiness. The meaning of pink here is related to the person's view of life in the context of the events that occur and his attitude towards events being a little softer. Therefore, it is entirely up to us to have a rosy view of life.
“If I change my mind, I change my perception of the world around me and its problems.”
Steve Chandler
Be a little more tolerant, forgiving and loving, both towards ourselves and others Being full will lead us to a happier perspective and perhaps help us experience the rosy perception of life.
After all, no one's pain is superior to anyone else's. If we adopt this attitude towards other people, they will also be tolerant towards us and share their experiences with you.
