When you look at the image here, what do you see? Do you see the flower? Do you see the hands? Do you see a flower presented by hands? Or maybe "growing" from the hands?Often when we look at a picture, we may see differently than another might see while looking at the same picture. It's all about perception and interpretation.
The same is true when we look at people. One may see a homeless man as a nuisance or potential threat. Another may see him as someone in need. A third person may see him as someone who is one break away from "making it".
The next time you see someone and form an opinion about them, ask yourself why you are interpreting him or her the way you are. Do you see a problem or potential? Do you see beauty or ugliness? Do you see a bother or a blessing?

Yeah. It is easy to look at people and just them by. To only look at the surface and turn away immediately. To pay attention may mean the rocking of our boats... But i guess we must force ourselves to look past the surface and look at the person...
