People see what they want to see

Life is tough, you have your ways about you and those around you have their ways. You can look at the same thing and think about it two different ways. It all depends on your perspective which I think has everything to do with where you came from. What I mean by that is that what you have experienced in life up to that point will determine how you process what you are exposed to at that moment.
This is where I can say it is red and someone else will say it is pink. We both are looking at the same thing but because of what I have to draw upon to determine the way I think about something is different for the other person.
Hence we come to different conclusions about things. We feel differently about things, we want different things, we act differently. Are we both wrong, I don't think so. We just have to realize that there has to be room for people to be themselves.
Some are suspicious about everything, they have lack of trust, some are very trusting, others controlling, then others very submissive. Where does those behaviors come from. I say look at what they have experienced in life and you will get a glimpse of why, maybe not the whole answer but a start.
I am saying all this because life is confusing and hard at times and we tend to forget that not everyone sees things the way we do. Hence the disagreement or argument or tension between two individuals will come about if we don't step back and look at it in a broader picture. It is hard to not take a stand on something and defend it when you start to think how maybe the other person may be looking at it.
I just wanted to write this because I forget sometimes that what I see is not necessarily what others see about me. they will believe what they want because of what they think they see, judging things on the surface without having the whole picture or all the information to come to the right conclusions about something.
I am guilty of this myself and it has caused me a lot of heartache in the past, so I vow to try to step back and look at the broader picture in the future.
