Gaining Perspective

It has been said, "you don't really know a person until you walk a mile in their shoes". While this is not a mile in their shoes, this is life through their eyes. Please keep your hearts and minds open as you look through a different perspective than your own and gain some understanding as to why people believe and live the way that they do.
