Others

Since other people are only what we perceive them to be, you can choose to see them as good and caring. Or, you can see them as mean and ugly, it's up to you. It's simple.

Now, if you are to touch a hot stove and expect not to be burned, that may be a bit difficult to work around when your belief holds that touching a hot stove will burn you. So, at what point do we stop touching hot stoves, or for that matter even concern ourselves with touching them? I'm not saying it is impossible, nothing is, but what are we actually interested in? What is it we are looking for with this existence that's more than apparent?
