The Thoughts Within Me

Every now and then, I decide to try to look into another person’s perspective and go through the motions of life. Unfortunately, I cannot imagine being another person but myself. I would have different physical features and also a different thought process in the mind. This idea relates to everybody. Surely enough, everybody has tried to step into someone else's shoes, whether it’s their friends or a celebrity. After a while of doing this, you would definitely not want to stay in their shoes because you love yourself more than anybody else on the globe. This is why you are definitely paying no attention to strangers or the little details that they portray during the short interval of time you stand in their presence. The thoughts of your own life are swirling around you like a tornado which blocks the visibility of others. But what would happen if you reverse this viewpoint? Why don't you think about the own tornado that these strangers are in and what thoughts are flying by their head? This would open up a whole new perspective of thoughts that you never had. To figure out what thoughts they have, take a look at their physical appearance or their facial expressions. Are they happy, sad, angry or stressed? With these emotions, you could create a paradox where you are inside another person feeding through the actions that are played out. To get the best effect, do this when you yourself are going through a troubled time. Forgetting about all the stress will impact you in a positive way no matter what. When stepping into another person’s body who is happy, you will be able to feed off this happiness for your own life. At the same time, stepping through a distressed person will reveal the gratitude and blessings you have been showered with in your own life because your situation is not as terrible. In the speech "This is Water", David Foster Wallace states that " ...the world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings..." This shows that the universe will not focus on your stubbornness, but your ability to conquer your weaknesses and try to improve them as you progress through the inevitable path of life.
