It is imperative that we use the right perceptual lens when we look at the world around us. It makes no sense to use logic, when it comes to the matters of the heart. Our interpretation of our circumstances is defined by the lens we apply.
When we use our intellectual lens, we see the world one way. Our use of the emotional lens allows us to see the same scenario completely differently. The key is to try and apply the right lens, at the right time, for the right reasons. Unfortunately, we tend to use the lens that suits us at the time, so that we can maintain mental equilibrium.
No wonder we justify things to ourselves all the time!
