It is always good to step back every once in a while and remember that we are not the center of the universe. I know, shocker right?! No matter how self aware or open minded we are we all get caught up in our own little world after a while. It takes a real conscious effort to break away from this natural "self gravitation" and to see our real place in this universe, just a small planet more often than not wandering in circles.
Often when "self gravitating" I find myself seeing things in black and white or better said in terms of "me" or "not me". Reality however is much more rich, varying and beautiful. There are a million colors between and unless we break out of this "self gravitation" and fall into proper orbit we will not see them. We need perspective and we will never have that unless we stop relating everything to ourselves and see the universe of others out there. When we begin to take ourselves too seriously it is always good to remember that there is "more than one way to skin a cat".
