Hello, today I will discuss something that I find perplexing🤔. For this week, when I wished to paint this picture of two peacocks standing on a wall, I could not get that wall correctly😒😒. I did many drafts. When you look down, the wall seems fine, but when you look forward, the wall appears to be going downhill😨😨.
Then, it occurred to me about life’s perspective. For example, I will discuss how the world looked at Prince Charles in 1997 when Princess Diana died in a car crash. The world was shocked, and the Royal family was blamed for all that happened at that time. Twenty-five years later, King Charles III, the people respected and accepted him. The perspective changed with time😄😄. I have struggled with drawing perspective, just like challenges in life. Sometimes, it is hard to see what went wrong😨. I took a long time to paint this picture; I know there is room for improvement. The wall was my biggest challenge, but I am happy with it now. My perspective of this painting may change with time😎😎.
Hence, I would say everything in life has different perspectives. However, it does not mean every aspect is correct. Only time or the situation will tell if it is right or wrong. Nevertheless, be confident to view the different perspectives😉😉🙏.

Hi Beena, I can’t agree with you more that our perspectives of people, things and events may change over time. This is inevitable because as time passes, we mature and our life experiences help us to understand people, things and events better. We adjust our standards and expectations of people, things and events.
Hi Jen
That is why when we adapt; our lives have a better meaning. It is when we are stuck in our ways that it becomes a struggle. Of course, I meant we adapt in a better way, not the reverse. It is our experiences in life that enrich us. I do find some change and become more bitter with age. It is pretty sad to watch when that happens. Thanks for your comments, as always.
