Man's Outlook

Thoughts and Ideas To Live By…

The way we look at things is something we have in ourselves; It is what is most and perhaps most precious in man. Our outlook enables us to understand better the third moment of faith, the ultimate and decisive instant in the life of faith. People are affected by the way other people see things, the way envisaging the universe, objects and life. A person developes his own way of looking at things or else he deforms is. The possibility of educating or deforming his way of looking at things is perhaps one of the most important, the most astonishing- sometimes the most tragic- powers that man possess. It takes a long time to fashion it, a long time to change it. The look belongs to us and we are responsible for it; yet we are not desirous of seeing things as they are, but rather as we would like them to be. In life, there are always fixed outlooks, restricted, viewpoints that are opposed to each other. Men, whose outlook refuses to change do not judge reality by what is, but on the basis of the eyeglasses he has made for himself. Man’s outlook is a powerful force. So also is opinion; men are limited and reduce everything to the level of their own limitations..
