“There ‘s a wonderful story in some African tradition of the
god who’s walking down the road wearing hat that is colored red on one side and
blue on the other. When the farmers in
the field go into the village in the evening, they say, “Did you see that man
go by with the blue hat?” And the others
say, No, no, he had a red hat on.”
-Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
Perspective can make all the difference in the world. It can start wars, feuds, destroy families, and
crush feelings. On the other hand,
recognizing its presence can bring great healing.
