Did we all choose to be here?
This thread reminds me that attitude makes perception.
I am not sure whether I came into this life with a needy grumpy attitude, but whatever, a slight initial tendency to be this way certainly snowballed into more pressing circumstances that eventually led me to look more closely at what was happening.
I saw that after a 'nasty' event I usually had a realisation that made that event worth while to me; it gave me new appreciation of what I had not previously appreciated. This has become so much so now that I am entertaining more and more the view that nothing really nasty could happen to me, as any nastiness would only be a reversion to an attitude that I no longer wish to entertain.
And I see an attitude as the view of or on circumstance. It may be seen as either the view on circumstance or the view of circumstance - and instructive to discern the difference.
