Compacted

"To your mouth, shit is the past it doesn't even recognize. To your colon, shit is what's happening now. But to your asshole, shit is the future!"
Perspective was everything to The Chemical Buddha. In fact, two people could experience the same thing at the exact same time and have completely different opinions about it. For example, while one person was participating in a romantic evening of 'aggressive and rough sex,' the other person might claim she was 'date raped.' The Chemical Buddha tried to explain this possibility of different view points to the judge and prosecuting attorney, but he was still sentenced to four years in jail. Where he learned that what he called 'anal rape' was considered a 'good time' by his fellow inmates. It was then he found one's perspective of a sex act sometimes depended upon whether one was catching or pitching. Once he was able to actually take a shit again, he penned the above insight to help him remember to see a bigger view.
Do you see things from your perspective or can you also relate to the views of others?
How might having a bigger view of a given situation help you react differently?
