I am going to go out on the cliched limb and ask a silly question. Have you ever looked the wrong way through a camera lens? Some people have never been around a camera where the lens comes off intentionally, so that isn’t going to mean anything to them. In fact, there must be a better example than this, but I can’t think of it. For the sake of getting through this, I’ll run, or maybe just trot fast, with the lens idea.<\/p>\n

If you were to do that, you would be able to see objects pretty well. You can still tell a tree is a tree, but there is a certain amount of distortion. It will vary from one lens to another, but the distortion exists. That distortion is how I would describe my outlook on things. I see things differently than many other people, and therefore, face some opposition on whether I am normal or not. There have been people tell me I am wrong just because I am different. I’d rather not get into the causes on those remarks; you can search the archive here and get a good idea of what I mean.<\/p>\n

There are times that I am wrong. If I were to say a tree is a rock, I am either messing with you, or need to be corrected. However, would I be wrong if I were to say the tree is a chair? On the surface, yes, but I have been know to go beneath the surface. What if I was looking at what could be made from that tree? Millions of chairs have been made from wood. Just because I saw a result does not mean I was incorrect.<\/p>\n

Just a note: This applies on how I relate to other people when they see things differently, too. It is just that I see better from my point of view, and can write that more clearly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As far as I can remember, I have had this quirk. You see a plastic ring, I see a component to a toy spaceship. I still do this, well, not spaceships, but the same concept. I can look at a squiggly line and see the start of an image. In fact, I recently used a lighter to burn off account numbers from a piece of paper before I threw it away (you know how preventing data theft is all the rage now) and ended up tracing the shapes left over because I saw the makings of something. I don’t know what it is yet, but I might find out one day.<\/p>\n

I guess what I am looking for is whether all this makes me wrong? Weird, odd, and out there I agree with. But only from the standpoint that I don’t fit the mold of being “normal.” I have seen what some call normal, and want no part of that.<\/p>\n

I don’t see how I am wrong because of this different outlook. I’m not breaking any laws, whether man-made or natural. This is a minor issue, but I find it to be a recurring thought in my mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
