Do you see the world and humans for what they actually are or how you desire for it to be?

Question

I don’t even believe it’s possible to observe something entirely without bias. The real question is whether or not you recognize your bias and how it affects your perceptions. This is why we teach children about optimism and pessimism with the glass of water analogy, “half full or half empty?”.
I’m naturally pessimistic. I’ve tried to mitigate the extent to which it affects my perceptions, so i willfully practice optimism. Even if i could, i wouldn’t do away with my natural pessimism. It has it’s benefits. I think i’ve hit a manageable medium because i’m rarely surprised by people anymore, for better or worse. When i am surprised, i’m not necessarily disappointed more or less often than i’m pleased. Then again, i don’t keep a record, so maybe i don’t even know myself as well as i think. Which brings me to the fact that i still pleasantly surprise myself from time to time, as well as disappoint myself. I don’t expect others to live up to expectations i don’t also strive to meet. After all, we’re only human!

The same as the saying: "you are, what you eat"

1. What we think, we become

2. What we are, whom we attract

3. Do bad, there is karma

The last but not least:

4. CULTURAL DIVERSITY. Yes and that is true. There are dozens of cultures where we belong. To somewhere. We like to chill, we like to read, we don't cook and visit Café's and Restaurants, we spend money a lot and love materials and stuff, we are believers of god so let us pray, we like to have sex only marriage and relationships aren't good, we love to have a deep bonding relationship and casual sex isn't meant for us, we are a family that doesn't eat at the table but sitting on the ground with a blanket.

And that is what we are and that is what I see the world is: The Myth, The Realist, The Fraud, The Bad, The Good.

How many are you going to see good and bad people, weird ones? Funny? Vindictive?

DANGERS LIE EVERYWHERE. NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF OUR ACTS. YOU THINK, YOU ACT, YOU LEARN, YOU CHANGE

I like to think I see humans for what they are. Like the Bible says man is evil by nature and falls short of the glory of God. But man is also capable of such beauty when he wants to be. My sister who is a much better Christian in me always says "whenever you see man doing something great, or merciful (like in a natural disaster that isn't actually us, that's God's spirit". Either way I just try to remember I guess since the old testament was written from God's point of view I guess that it would make sense that man would only have evil in his heart if it was coming from the opinion of someone omnipotent and infallible.

I keep it close to the ground... and just for those at my reach anything other than that, it would be me making broad generalizations

A bit of both. I recognize the reality of our human existence, and push for improvements to what we can be.

In a sense I do believe in some level of Globalization. We have the potential to learn from one another without blood shed over tolerance and tear down walls.

I think we all are sinners and yet we fight because we want to look like an angel. We need to know we all are sinners just like him or her and come back to God’s care.
