One of my favorite local running routes goes out of town to the east along the Mississippi. Today's run was about 6.4 and about 3.6 in the rain started--gentle, but steady. It felt wonderful to me and I enjoyed the cooling, refreshing sensation. But not such a good rain for the motorcyclists and graduation party-ers. It all depends on your perspective.
If perspective is so important, can we choose our perspective? If so, then why not choose to view events from a perspective that ends up leading to a positive view? I am always amazed when I hear of people who face extreme hardship and difficulty with a positive view. At the same time I wonder what causes those people to make that choice and why others are devastated.
