Your set of lenses

Where do some people get off? ..... No, I'm really not that angry....

Why do some people just cause drama? ..... No, I don't really care why they do .....

Why can't we accept what is?  .....  That feels better ......

Why can't people accept what is?  I'm sad for people who get so tangled up in drama all the time.  They must be hurting and really unable to see outside their own circumstances.  I have totally been there and have been caught up in more drama than probably imaginable.  Not only that, I've caused drama, lots of drama, because I believed whatever I believed was right, and didn't even try to consider other options.  I've been there and it is not a happy place. 

Reality is that you are only one person with one set of lenses with which you view the world.  Hopefully, you can develop enough empathy in life to be able to set aside those lenses long enough to appreciate other people and to take a realistic view of the world.  But whether you can or not, people will always have differing thoughts and opinions.  Unless you can learn to appreciate that, and accept that differing opinions does not mean you're a bad person or that your opinion is wrong, you will always live amid drama.
