I
feel that the man in the video has put some serious thought into what he was
speaking about. Some of the points he made were so very true I didn’t quite
know how to feel. He is absolutely correct, if we want to live in a world where
everyone gets along we need to think about how our actions portray themselves
to other people. Our actions and the words we say speak a lot to the people
listening or observing. People we just met don’t know what type of person we
are so our impressions are important to another people’s mindfulness. I feel
that people who cling to Christianity, so strongly that they are readily able
to judge people for not being Christian, are not seeing the other persons life
from a very good perspective. I have always been able to hop out of my shoes
and into another person’s. When I was young I was always questioning
everything. I cannot quite remember exactly what it was about, but my dad once
told me “the easiest way to understand what someone else is trying to say is by
listening to them not just hearing them speak”. Since that day I have been able
to find an easier way of understanding people. I have had so many people
quickly judge me for saying “I’m not necessarily a Christian” that it helps me
think of everything else in a different more open-minded type of way. If people
would go out on a limb by themselves and not use what they have been taught
their whole lives, they would find the answers they are looking for. I’m saying
that from a religious, political, personal, and spiritual perspective. Overall,
in my mind, I have been good at asking the questions I think are necessary to
ask, but I do need to work on my methods of feeling empathy.
So where do you fit in society. It is a great skill to see things from other perspectives.
