Serdyuk Irina, 331/1

We see what we choose to see.

This topic is very responsive to me so I decided to ponder about it because


every medal has two sides.

Lately I've been coming across more and more people's expressions of
dissatisfaction with the weather or dissatisfaction with the place where they live.
These phrases really amuse me because I hold the view that we choose to see the
world, creates the world that we see. For example, when we go along a street of
our town and pay attention only good aspects of it (“Oooh, it’s such a wonderful
place for relaxing with friends” or “What an aesthetic building, here you will get
a cool photo”), such thoughts focus us on the good aspects of life, which creates a
certain aura of success and confidence. In such way we build the circle of our
friends, colleagues and so on.

If you envisage achieving a goal you’ve set yourself, your brain continually
picks out messages and information throughout the day that further strengthen
your internal message to yourself. This in turn will help motivate and drive you
on to keep working towards what you set out to achieve, and the likelihood of you
attaining your goal will be heightened, and more likely accomplished. So I
believe that positive thinking builds us.

Actually this position can influence on your life with a bad side. A lot of
people meet anyone; they start communicating and get closer. This person seems
so nice and neat that sometimes it happens that we start to ignore the bad qualities
or actions of these people. Initially, it seems so much easier to see what we prefer
to see, rather than face the unpleasant truth of what's actually there. Our
perception is often biased, selective, and malleable. This is comparable to when
we read a written sentence, but do not see a slip of the tongue or a mistake in the
word. If I find myself in a situation under the pressure of rose-colored glasses, I
think I need to accept the truth and no matter how bitter it may be.

I'm thinking about how it's human nature to see what we want to see and
ignore anything that goes against our expectations of how things must be, or how
we want things to be. We won’t see something that's staring us right in the face if
we don't want to see it.

Taking everything into consideration I’d like to say that it will be the best
variant if we if we think positively, but do not go to extremes, because in any case
there should be a golden mean.
