Different View Quotes

“If the voices and perspectives we assess ourselves by
are stuck in systems of their own
they can be another trap.
If they're stuck in their own agendas--
their needs and desires--
then they're another "wicked temptation"
to sell out our deepest truths
to please or pacify someone else.

Which is why I advocate multiple mirrors,
offering different ways of seeing,
of feeling,
of processing,
angles and views we might otherwise miss,
and
reminding us to revere just how complex reality is.”

“Witnesses.
Help us see how others see.
Help us see ourselves from another
vantage point,
a larger landscape,
a different view.

Witnesses.
Reality checks.
Mirrors.
Cameras.
Other lenses.
Different views.

They can save us from our worst possible choices
or from participating in someone else's.”
― Shellen Lubin
