Perhaps...


Perhaps beauty does not exist, but rather is the different ways people see the same thing, Perhaps there are no truths and lies, but just different ways we perceive what we see and hear, Perhaps there are no colors, but different outlooks on images based on what we feel, Perhaps common sense isn’t a given, but as common as we make it, Perhaps we should stop trying to understand every aspect of life and learn to enjoy the mystery of it, Perhaps IQ should be second to creativity, Perhaps life shouldn’t be about how much we know, but about what we do with what we already know, Perhaps we should strive less to be like our role models, and strive more to become one ourselves, Perhaps nothing is worth knowing unless you are willing to live in the unknown for a while, Perhaps nothing is meaningful until you learn to embrace curiosity, Perhaps we need to talk less and listen more, Perhaps life isn’t what we are born into, how we choose to live
