See the world from another set of eyes

Try as you might,

you can't see the world

from a different set of eyes.

You're stuck with the ones you have,

doomed to see the same scene again and again and again.

Incapable of ever knowing what others see.

There are ways around this, of course.

Art, writing, reports.

They all lead to empathy,

understanding.

They allow the world to be seen, if only slightly,

from another point of view.

That is why I write.

to take advantage of this trait.

And let people see the world as I see it.
