Everyone Has a World View

What is a World-View?

A World-view is your personal model of the world. It comprises your beliefs, your knowledge, and your assumptions about the world. As your world-view changes, you see the world differently, and therefore your responses to situations and circumstances also alter.

"I have met the jailer and he is I.
We are all trapped by our own world-view."
Paul Chippendale

Everyone has a worldview.  The view depends on where you are in life.  If you live in a safe environment, your worldview is going to be optimistic.  If you live in an unsafe environment, you have a pessimistic view of life because you live in fear.

People have been assigned different callings in life. Special people are meant to live their lives in love, giving, and peace. These are called the Healers in life because people seek them out to feel the sense of their peace, serenity and love.  These are the Healers.

Other people are meant to see the injustice in life and are meant to fight to help right the wrongs that are inflicted on others.  These people stand up for the vulnerable and often have to fight and even offend to find “justice.” These are the “Heroes.”  If we only had “Healers,” who would fight to see that there is justice in the world?

WE NEED BOTH –

The ruling members of a society often loses its perspective and often makes people “objects” and that are to be ruled for the “good” of the society. They lose that compassion to see these objects as people that can be hurt and victimized.

I think that a true society is its “people.”  These are the individuals that see life around them; they see both the happiness and the pain of their neighbor. They can take advantage of the “vulnerable” or they can help relieve their suffering.  I believe that our society contains most of the latter.
