Perspective

Every generation has its own perspective. 

The same photo or situation will have its own distinct perspective as to what it means depending on your age, lifes experiences, and geographic environment. Each will be slightly different, yet they still all might be right. Some will be positive, and some will be negative. 
The important thing is to not let others be a negative influence on you, your perspective, your thoughts, or your values. 
Do not let social media change your perspective to something that you would not normally think our feel. Question it all. Too many times people, especially younger folks, are accepting the thoughts and feelings of others that try to tell you how to think,  how to feel, who to hate, and what to be offended by. Don't follow the crowd. Most are not a good source for information,  and most will either influence you to think or feel something contrary to you nature and certainly clearly incite social division... usually based on racial issues. So just think for yourself rather than accepting some one elses perspective... They may be completely wrong. In any event... be yourself. Be happy in your life without the negative perspectives of others affecting you.

This certainly applies to important controversial social issues, of which there are plenty to go around... or simple things of little non consequence things. 

Too many people resent or judge others not because others want to live there life differently...   but because others don't confirm to their perspective of how things should be. Too many people want to impose their values for life upon others... taking away their freedoms to live and enjoy their lives they wish.g Just look at the abortion issue or the prejudicial views on the LGBTQ community or racism in general. No one has the right to tell you how to live,  nor should you have the right to tell others how to live. 

This entire post started with a simple no consequence photo about perspective... For which there is no wrong answer... It's just about your perspective. 

What's the first thing that comes to mind... It will be many different answers... all correct from your perspective.  My perspective is just that... mine. It doesn't have to match yours... nor should I have any right to expect that you should have my perspective... or that you should think I'm wrong not to have yours. 

What's the first think I think of this photo? 
Superman!
Because in the 1950s & 60s... Clark Kent... 
The mild manner news reporter...
ran into a phone booth to become...
You guess it...
Superman.
 


Just something to think about. 
Be happy & have a great day. 

If you want to be offended by something...
Consider being offended by others who would tell you 
how to live your life by their perspectives. 

Just don't be that other person...
telling others how they should live their lives. 

Freedoms are for everyone.
