Question for everyone - ever try looking at the universe from a different perspective then your own?

Question

Have you ever tried doing things differently, maybe more efficiently?

Ever read a book by someone you disagree with?

The metaphorical walk a mile in someone else's shoes?

Do you empathize with those different from you?

Ever look through a telescope and wonder?

Ever look in to a microscope and just . . . wonder?

Do you listen to your opponents and try to compromise, or try to destroy?

Why do you think I would ask these questions?

Answer 1

I try to be efficient in everything I do. Does not always work, but I will try.
I have not read a book by someone I disagree with. Yet.
Have not walked a mile in other shoes. Too busy dealing with my own travels.
Yes, I do empathize.
I look through a telescope at any opportunity and wonder for days after.
Have not been near a microscope in years.
I try to compromise, not always easy.
Get the brain working.

Answer 2

- Have you ever tried doing things differently, maybe more efficiently?

Yes, I think so. In the way I express myself, I suppose.

---

- Ever read a book by someone you disagree with?

Yes, at school, but I don't remember those books. Since then, never. I look at some parts of writings I disagree with on internet, but never I would read the whole books.

---

- The metaphorical walk a mile in someone else's shoes?

I think it is a very realistic & wonderful metaphore.

---

- Do you empathize with those different from you?

Yes, I do. Much more than I seem.

---

- Ever look through a telescope and wonder?

Yup - but naked eyes are great too. I am a fan of planetology.

---

- Ever look in to a microscope and just . . . wonder?

Yup. I love insects and stuff like this. Watching minerals too.

---

- Do you listen to your opponents and try to compromise, or try to destroy?

It depends on the environment.

---

- Why do you think I would ask these questions?

Because asking them helps you evolve, and because some of the answers you will get may bring clues you need for yourself.

And because you need to be heard & understood. Like most of the people over here.

Answer 3

Ever try looking at the universe from a different perspective then your own?
A: Yes. Try looking at things from the perspective of a four year old. It's fun!!

Have you ever tried doing things differently, maybe more efficiently?
A: Why are people always asking me that? Could it be that they've seen my bathroom?

Ever read a book by someone you disagree with?
A: Yes. For some reason my parents just insisted that I actually read those dumb textbooks the school kept handing out.
YUCK!!

The metaphorical walk a mile in someone else's shoes?
A: Without going into sad details, yes, I have. It was a learning experience, and I know I couldn't have been supportive without my faith.

Do you empathize with those different from you?
A: Well, I call you my friend!

Ever look through a telescope and wonder?
A: Oh, yes! How could anyone looking through a telescope even think to doubt the existence of God?

Ever look in to a microscope and just . . . wonder?
A: Yes, and ditto!!

Do you listen to your opponents and try to compromise, or try to destroy?
A: Alot depends on how those opponents approach me! Given a choice, I'd much rather compromise!!

Why do you think I would ask these questions?
A: I dunno, but I understand God is laying in HUGE supplies of Excedrin Extra Strength!!!!!!

God bless you!!

Answer 4

1. Yes I have tried doing things differently and/or more efficiently. Sometimes that has been successful other times not.

2. Well I've been reading the bible so I'd say that is a big yes....

3. I try to because I can't understand what they are going through or affects them without trying to do that first. I think that helps me to be a better friend.

4. I try to. Empathy is never a bad thing to have for anyone.

5. All the time.. it's a beautiful universe out there...

6. Yes especially when I was working in pathobiology... it's like another little world unto it's own

7. I always try compromise first.. I will only go for destroy when no other options remain

8. Because you honestly wonder what people think...you want to know

Answer 5

1. Yes, all the time, as it is the only way you can find _your_ best way.
2. Is this like taking a different route to work, or riding your bike instead of driving?
3. Mein Kampf
4. Yes but it would take too long to explain.
5. Only if they don't complain without at least trying to change what they're complaining about. I can't stand when people do that.
6. Since I was 6 or 7.
7. No, but I have read books about what's under the microscope and wondered..., is that good enough?
8. I only compromise if my position isn't the clear best-option. This goes back to your first question, viewing situations from different perspectives. In the rare event I am actually proven wrong, I will take up my opponent's banner and become their biggest supporter.
9. To see what kind of answers you get, and if any of them are superior to what you have come up with. Also, it's your attempt to get people who don't do these things to think about their lives.

Answer 6

I try to... depends on the perspective being offered to me.

Yes, definitely. It makes life easier.

I have... and even agreed with some of the things stated by the author. The book was called Witchcraft goes Mainstream by Brooks Alexander.

Yes, I have... and I still made fun of him. J/K

I try to, but sometimes they make it really difficult.

Have looked thru both, telescope and microscope... and I always wonder... what the hell are those little squiggly things?

I try to find common ground and to reason out the argument. If that doesn't work, I ignore. And if that doesn't work, I retaliate.

They fit right in with the mood of this place.

Answer 7

Yes I do tend to wonder a lot and empathize with people different from me. I think it is part of our "wondering mind" if you wanna call it like that. Human beings always have the tendencies of wanting to explore and know more. I think part of that makes us wonder about space, other universes, other life species that exist both on earth and perhaps in other planets or universes.
I really do not know why you would ask these questions. I sometimes ask questions like these just to see other people's perspective on things. Perhaps you were doing the same.

Answer 8

You are obviously a Darwin lover so I can understand the questions you are asking. but be careful asking and trying to analize everything cause you will go crazy. Like a mad scienist. But I do question these things everyday and I do wonder. Like how everything is everything and every particle is somehow part of each other. Or looking through a telescope and wondering if there is so much more. But sometimes I just stop and think hey whatever, just live life to the fullest and have fun!!

Answer 9

I actually have a extensive outdoors, and have 2 cows in the exterior. I even have seen a alien craft 6 cases in my outdoors. i think of they have been there to play around with my cows. I have not any thought why.there is an entire city crammed with 20,000 human beings close by. Heck, my living house on my own contains 3 grownup human beings and six individual babies. Why those extraterrestrial beings are so involved or in touch approximately my cows basically boggles my techniques. yet so some distance they do no longer look to opt to harm us. in the event that they needed us lifeless, all they might ought to do is carry their alien craft basically above my living house and then furnish it the gas.

Answer 10

I know exactly why you ask, and ponder. But I won't go into that. But yes, I like to look at things from different sides. It's one of the ways I double-check my logic when it comes to people and their opinions or feelings. The christian point of view, I understand and find amusing sometimes. But I won't agree with most of their opinions when it comes to many things. But, one of the reasons I stay in my current situation is my ability to see things from a different perspective, no matter how biased I am to my own side.
