Cada caveza es un mundo . . . or, so we say in
Spanish. A rough translation might read, every
head is its own world. I find it interesting that
I continually run into this concept in daily life.
Perhaps there is no truer statement as none of
us view life and its happenings in quite the same
way. We all house different opinions on religion,
politics, education, relationships, sex, work . . .
Frankly, it's amazing we get along as well as we
do. I imagine that part of the puzzle lies in the
way we were each brought up. Another might be
the religion, or lack thereof, that our parents
introduced us to. We are, of course, affected by
our educational background and influenced by
friends and lovers. This is an old, old argument,
"You say tomato and I say tomato . . . " 'Tis
interesting as well, that in so many relationships,
opposites attract. I imagine none of us get up in
the morning determined to be as absolutely
closed minded as possible! In fact, in the whole
opposites attract theory, we probably strive to
give our children a more openminded viewpoint
than we espouse. I imagine we all tend towards
priding ourselves on being openminded, but are
we really? In my own life, I find that I'm very
openminded about the things that I approve of
but, I can be quite closed and/or critical of those
which I do not. It may be no big deal, open or
closed, but bottom line . . . being straight with
oneself is paramount.
