The World thru Others Eyes
Lately I have been thinking that people must see the world differently. I know that that is not very profound, but is a reality that has just hit me. I mean when I look at the world I see something totally different than what you see. People place there motives and values on other people and it amazes me. Competitive people think the world is one big competition and the only way to get people motivated is to say, "hey, look someone is beating you. You better hurry and catch up!!"
This is why I think that any type of love is a good thing (okay not any, but most). Because even though I may not agree with every part of what they do they still teach about a loving God. And He is the one who touches people's lives.
Imagine if you could take the time to actually see what they see. The world through so many different biases.
I just think it would be a very eye opening experience to see the world through your eyes.
Oh yeah, I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up.

Your post reminds me of a conversation with my younger brother-in-law. We discussing emerging church ideas when he made a similar comment.(A realization moment that people think differently)
I am personally fascinated with the different ways that people think and see the world. But after learning and trying to understand those differences I still struggle with valueing those differences. It really does require "love one another".
I think that if we try to see the world according to everybody else's view, we would all have a headache and be very cranky. Scripture does say that we will be known by our love for each other. So it is important to not be wrapped up in your own affairs and ideas only. Rather than trying to see everybody else's view on life and the world, it would be better to whole-heartedly abandon our own view, and abandon their views, and cling to the truths revealed to us in the way that Christ viewed the world. Then we could better assess the needs of everybody and do all we can to properly love them...hippy...
