So much of human life and happiness is subjective that we should be fools not to take advantage of this subjectivity unashamedly and learn to cultivate the seeing eye and the perceptive soul for the beauties that lie around us, and be grateful for it … If life is all subjective, why not be subjectively happy rather than subjectively sad?

In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
~ Theodore Roethke ~
USING ADVERSITY
The wound and the eye are one and the same. From the psyche's viewpoint, pathology and insight are not opposites ... Pathologizing is itself a way of seeing; the eye of the complex gives the peculiar twist called "psychological insight."
~ James Hillman ~You have to be displaced from what's comfortable and routine, and then you get to see things with fresh eyes, with new eyes.
~ Amy Tan ~
