Looking at Life Through a Camera Lens


Attitudes and opinions are like camera lenses. Wide angle, telephoto, macro, fisheye all provide a unique view of the world in which we live and shape our perception of things around us. Some people live life with a wide view, taking in everything around them and seeing the big picture with an open mind. Others are intensely concentrated on things far away creating a “tunnel vision” mentality while a few focus on events and situations with microscopic detail. By putting your camera down for a minute and looking at things in an unadulterated state you sometimes see things as they really are.
For many in todays world, perception is reality with our choice of “lenses” forming our outlook on life. Changing situations, advancing years, triumph, tragedy and fate all conspire to cause us to look through different lenses from time to time.
What kind of lens are you looking through today??
