Confusion and Perception

We all seems to suffer some kind of confusion at one time or another.  The world that we live in must be somewhat confused in some ways.  Have you noticed a difference in yourself about confusion.  I have in myself.  It increases with stress too.  Is our society stressed out with so much happening, overstressed maybe?
People don't seem to know which way is up anymore.  Going aimlessly in any direction that feels good to their senses.  We must feel good first, don't we?  Reason seems out the door and that's how we make decisions these days.  This become very serious when political leaders make decisions for our countries that way.

That's when perception comes in, especially in relationship.  Let's say that you find yourself tired and cranky.  Wouldn't you think that your perception of what you hear from your partner will change considerably?  I have found that when I am tired and cranky, (sometimes it happens) I better not talk at all and maybe my perception will change after I have rested a while.  Measuring your words sometimes can save you a lot of trouble.

I like photography too.  Sometimes I have to go around my subject to get a different perspective or perception of what I am trying to see.  Different lights and angles can make a big difference in a picture.

Having a second look or third look when you are confused can change the way you perceive something.
This is what is called wisdom, make the right choice of looking again.  After a while you won't become angry so quickly and you won't have to apologize so often because you became angry.  It's a win-win situation.  Then you will have more friends to get along with.

Here is a poem closely related to perception:

It is Always like a Melody

Bernard Demaere

 

It is early at night,

Drops are falling from the sky.

On the roof, it is God’s melody,

Wouldn’t it drive some of you crazy?

 

Listen to that refreshing melody,

To a blessing that is heavenly.

It should make you rejoice,

To hear all that noise.

 

There is a way to look at things,

Whether it’s raindrops falling,

Or simply when it is sunny,

It is always just like a melody!


I was born in Belgium ����.I am retired and living with my wife of 36years, Cathy. We are the proud parents of two adult married children. One of each, Zoe and Steve. Now we have grandchildren as well. I love writing, I don’t write some poetry. I have quite a collection of poems.

The Power of Fathers

Fathers are valuable beings in children's formation not just the mothers. They set the right values in a home and the standards of moral.  They are much needed. I am glad I had a dad and when I look around I am glad my dad stack around all his life.  So many fathers have left the coop for whatever reason.  I can honestly say that it hurts my heart to see single mothers looking after their children without a father. My dad was dedicated to his family and we always had food on the table. He had to be very busy because of his business in body shop and that I miss, the interaction with him on the emotional level.  I think maybe my children missed that too.  I urge every father to be there for their children, not just physically but emotionally.  It will save them a lot of regrets and sorrow later. I wish all the fathers out there a wonderful day with their family whether you are in a country that celebrates Father's day or not.   Here is a poem that descri...

Imaginary Imagery

So many times I wonder how what I read in people's faces or even in my own thoughts is actually what really happens. Am I really mad for the right reason or is it all in my imagination. What about you?  Are you really seeing what you are supposed to see or you have to reconsider something? Maybe you missed something in the context of what they were saying. Do we understand everyone perfectly?  Do we communicate perfectly? Let's revaluate!  Give them another chance. Say no to that divorce or that fight. Is it worth it? Here is a poem about Imagination: Imagination Bernard Demaere   Image, Aviation, Imagination. The bird flew from the cage. Freedom took wings, To worlds of dreams. Making anything Into something. A bird can be caged, A cage, a bird, Have your heard? The bird, When he flew, From the cage, High above. Above your neck, That’s your head, He never came back, Till he found something, In the worlds of dreams, In ...
