My Window on the World

Our individual frame of reference is based on our experiences, family situation, upbringing, race, culture, religion and education among other factors. This is our individual filter on the reality we perceive.

We each view the world slightly differently therefore it is best not to criticise or judge someone when they express a different viewpoint. Your view may be exotic and beautiful while mine is distorted, chaotic and dark, yet it is my view.

Having this understanding creates less room for judgement and creates a greater space for compassion and empathy. The image below shows the factors that have created and moulded my feelings, beliefs and behaviour - My Window on the World.
