changing perspectives


It's all about changing perspective. So little we learn about changing perspective, seeing things with different eyes, through the experience and viewpoint of someone else, through critical thinking, untrusting our judgments, with curiosity and open mind.
We live in a prescriptive society, where all is driven by processes and procedures, by rules and templates. And all those are based on experience, and allow us to be guided through the world. 
But when we get stuck in them, and become unable to think and innovate, then we fail to handle crisis, which is indeed the world we live in.
And if we change out time perspective, we realise how crisis really has been the routine. Only at different time scales. And we may not be able to restore the backup.
