One View Limit

The view of life one has is neither right nor wrong, but if a person only has one view it limits life, and in the process it doesn’t allow for any other possibility except from that one view…

Having an open view is what makes life different. It doesn’t make what happens in life different, it only makes the view of what happens different. If you’re locked into one view, this only allows you to see things one way. To me, the more you’re locked into one view the harder it will be for there to be a shift to see things openly. Not that there’s anything wrong with one view, it just doesn’t allow for much openness. When you see things from one view, it limits life to that one view. Most times the view you have isn’t even your own, it’s formed from someone else’s opinion, teaching, book, video, or discussion.

To be locked in on one view keeps you trapped to the results of that view; think about how limiting this is. No possibility of anything else, going down the same path, never allowing anything new. Seeing things through one view will not allow you to see how limiting this is. Sitting and developing discipline so the grip of one view lessens can assist in possibly altering a closed mind set. There has to be an inkling there’s another view for there to be an opening. It’s not that any view is right or wrong, it’s just that having only one has limits, and in the process it doesn’t allow for the possibility of other results except for those from that one particular view…
