Perspective

Our world is simply a vast expanse of  uniqueness, or rather, I should say our worlds are individual expanses of unique experiences. One planet, one solar system, one universe, all contain us. It is common ground, but more specifically it is scientific. However, the definition of the world can reach beyond stable structures and mathematical formulas governing laws of nature. A world is one’s own mind at work. It is the brain creating an image and sound that accompanies it. All humans perceive their surroundings differently and this is how individualism comes to be. Therefore, the idea of “one” is broken. People are all different, and perspective proves just that.
For example, scientific studies and experimentation show that each person analyzes colors differently. Just like there is a difference in how different animals see color, there is a difference in how each person will see a color. This is not to say that green won’t be green to another person, but it might look slightly different. The differentiation becomes more evident in the transition between colors. As one turns into another, different individuals will say that the color has changed at different times (this only works if it changes very slowly). So, the phrase “to walk in someone’s shoes” really gains meaning now, in a physical way.
Yet another difference in perceiving the world is the intake of sound. Not all ears are the same, so not all people will hear the same thing. This can obviously take a detour: many kids protest that they heard something else than their parents telling them to do their chores. But, what I mean by different sound is the pitch, the tone, the volume, or even the speed. People say I have an accent, but I don’t hear my accent. Ears can also be accustomed to sound and will not hear it another way. A different example occurs with recordings. When I listen to myself from a recording I think it sounds totally different. I wonder if this is the way others hear me or do they hear me the way I do.
In this complex system we call the world, billions of perspectives exist. Humans all have their own perceptions, their own images, their own sounds. Each person is an individual and his or her perspective is one in more than a billion. Now that, well that is crazy!
