The Influence of a Larger View

I feel the influence of a larger view.

Everyone I know feels the influence of a larger view.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet feels the influence of a larger view.

——————
As I travel, I receive the input from different architectural styles, the different physical resources to create them and the resulting interactions of the people who live here.

The result of centuries of craftsmanship show respect for the past artisans and laborers who created the buildings and tile roads.

Even as many generations of more and more modern input show up, the respect for long-lasting construction embodies the work of those who created it.

It is not the superficial differences which I feel, but rather the deep respect within the new communities I visit and experience.

Tones in languages denote camaraderie, respect, consideration.

How people treat each other at busy crosswalks, allowing others to pass without jostling, and helping those who need it is another indicator.

The larger view I am acquiring comes through the way I am treated in my new surroundings.

It creates a desire in me to learn more about the different cultures I am experiencing.

As I gain knowledge, simple interactions comfort me.

I realize more about why people treat each other well.

The larger view takes into account the needs of others.

The larger view begins to realize there are many ways of solving problems and addressing needs.

Each person fulfilling their specific role in a culture adds to the overall impression and feeling.

With a larger view, everyone is respected and valued.

The larger view takes into consideration other ways of addressing situations.

The larger view is willing to acquire more knowledge and experience and to make deep philosophical changes where necessary.
