THE VERDE WORD
What we see is not always the truth. Things can be skewed.
Down the street there are three windows, transparent glass framed by timber or stone. The design of the windows may reflect the character of the owners, but what is behind the window?
The First Window
As you walk past the first house a noise, some action is drawing you nearer. Glancing inside you see a tall, strong man standing over a woman. His body displays strong intent. He is firmly slapping the woman across the face again and again and again in quick succession. He is angrily shouting at her words you do not understand. Then he takes a long instrument in his hand and stabs her in the thigh. You see her being physically abused and the police should be called.
First Window - The Reality
Things are rarely exactly what they seem.
The man slapping the woman was his attempt to stop her from slipping into a diabetic coma before the ambulance arrives. The stabbing of her thigh was an insulin injection pen.
The Second Window
The 17th or 18th century house is strong, solid and built of stone. The front window is small and the room within appears dark and gloomy.
On a low stool a young man, bedraggled, dressed in raggy trousers with the cuffs hanging over dark battered and scruffed worn out shoes. He faces the window. Draped in a striped shirt with the cuffs hanging around his wrists he loosley holds a long bladed carving knife in his hand.
At first he is muttering. He is angry, frustrated and you hear various words and phrases that are both vitrolic and sarcastic.
"My bloody life is shit! Christ, why on earth do I bother!"
"Christmas...joy oh bloody joy! My life festooned with joy? You've got to be bloody kiddin! The time of religious and family festive stuff and what do I have...no turkey no duck, no pork, not even a bloody bon bon! It's all right for everyone else, but what about me, who cares for me? No one!!!"
He looks at the knife. With intent, the knife is slowly turned and the tip placed at his belly, as he bends forward he tightens his grip on the knife.
You are close to banging on the window to disrupt the impending action.
Second Window - The Reality
The young man leans over to read from paper on the floor. You realise another person is in the room. Both men stand up and discuss the position of the knife, how to fall from the stool and whether the words in the script are accurate.
The young man is an actor rehearsing for a play.
The Third Window
Two people, male and female shouting and stomping around with a lot of arm waving. They are arguing about the water, the broken glass but mainly about the bodies lying dead on the floor.
The woman accuses the man and he accusses her. "Yeah sure! and my Uncle Fred is my Aunt!" she yells. She is furious about the death of George and Muriel. They talk about getting rid of the bodies and evidence. There is no blood and the bodies are easy to get rid of as George and Muriel suffocated.
Third Window - The Reality
There was a large fish tank on a shelf which the large family dog accidentally knocked to the floor.
George and Muriel are goldfish.
So often in life, we think we understand what things are, and what is happening. We use our own life experiences, information and knowledge to understand our world and events around us. However, we all have different life experiences, learned knowledge which we use to make decisions.
However, in order to better understand what is happening in our lives and our world, look at things deeply from a different perspective as reality and understanding can become skewed.

What may seem right or wrong can sometimes be very different.
Encourage your mind to avoid skewing reality.

Never assume what you view is indeed 'what you are seeing'.
Life experience has many variables.

Never accept the seemingly obvious without evidence and a thorough visual inspection and investigation.
