A broken puzzle

Everyone sees things differently which is hard to understand. We can be standing in the same spot looking at the same view and still see completely different things. Why is that? Everyone sees what they want to see or maybe even what they think they see. It is so hard to see it differently.

But in the end, rejection of another's view only makes a mess. That is not to say that there is no absolute truth in a situation or that truth is relative. Only that everyone's personal view is a little piece of the puzzle coming together from a new understanding.

Is it worth shoving my piece of the puzzle into someone's view?
Or is it better for my piece to get thrown away to make everyone else happy?

In the end, many pieces are lost, shoved under furniture or tainted beyond recognition. They leave an incomplete picture... half of a view. And then we say, "see, it's just like I told you it would look."

Cant we agree to disagree and move on with life? A life without grudges, pushing and shoving, and intollerable and unnecessary pain? noone's idea of the puzzle is perfect unless we ALL work together to put it together. AKA~ EFFORT! Not yelling or accusing or the silent treatment.... Teamwork.

But, alas, you cant force that on anyone either. So the spiral continues.
