    How do YOU view the world?

    Someone once told me that people on the genius level of intelligence view the world like a chess board which I found very interesting. Since how you view the world influences how you engage it, I was wondering what is your vision?

    As for me the world is like a musical. The world is on stage interacting in a seemingly random way until you take a good look at it and can appreciate the choreography involved as each interaction is purposefully manifested in order to move along the moral and story to its conclusion. It is definitely a musical as everyone moves to the rhythm of their own song and music while at other times they are in perfect sync in a big song and dance routine.

    I see it more as a bunch of music videos that begin anew each day (different songs, different feelings, different "bands"), so perhaps very similar to your musical analogy.

    At the moment I don't have a good view of the world I like everything in it except people. I'm dwelling too much on the negativity now it is like everything else has a beautiful system to keep it moving on, balancing itself then you add people and poof that system disintegrates even though we can go along with it we seem to think we can impose our own “vision” on everything else: other people, nature, animals, resources, etc. Then I remember not all people are like that and many want to enter the system and help others see the error of their ways.

    I really liked the part about beginning anew each day
    That is a very endearing quality....I oftentimes have to remind myself why I am mad at a person (only so that I don't let them "hurt" me again) but for the most part I just like to move on like if it was a new day.

    I can totally relate to the different songs with different feelings which is why it is so hard when someone asks...."So what is your favorite music?" So hard for me to say as it really depends on my mood and I always find a few bands within a genre that I like so I really just like music in general....much like people

    This is such a balanced answer....I agree that when you are surrounded by negative people it definitely feels that way. It took many years of my sister telling me...."Girl most people don't think like you and most likely never will and when you come to terms with that you are going to be able to deal with life." I live for moments when I meet positive people who actually make life better for us all, it's like a cool spring breeze flowing through your life.

    I believe deep down people want to do good but just get stuck in old patterns of thinking/living just because it's easier to cling on to the familiar and in a way have an unhealthy relationship with the concept of change. At other times I think on how people approach you on a matter...for example I know they are pushing those cloth bags at the supermarket and I think that is great but I still get plastic because I use them as my garbage bags as they are free and they fit my can. Still I have to endure at times looks from the cashier because I don't feel the need to explain myself I just don't see how disapproving looks is going to get anyone to "Think Green"

    I see the world I suppose as a theatre, with different plays each day of the week. The protagonists, antagonists and the unknown heroes, much of the time I see the heroes as tragic. The plays are moral stories, others romantic, others as tragedies, sadly few as comedies. The protagonist is usually evil, antagonist is deluded, even though they may be virtuous, and the heroes as flawed. Occasionally I'm treated to interludes of profound inspiration that can change my perception of everything and the hero succeeds but sometimes paying a tragic price.

    I am not INFJ but I have Intuition as dominant function same as INFJ so i guess, my view will be somewhat similar.

    I view the world that is filled with possibilities, there is nothing perfect and ideal and everything can be changed and its your playground. Everything in this world is beautiful that includes all its flaws.

    How can it be improved, what could be ? understanding how it works continuously.

    And there are times when my thinking goes off , and I view the world exactly like quoted above.

    That was so cool uncertainsomething...I just imagined watching it as an outside observer. *thumbs up*

    Lol! I think we have the same sister. I don’t care if they don’t think like me I will still try to introduce to them another perspective always better than being one minded.

    Indeed those people give me so much hope! I feel like my depleted battery is reenergized.

    Haha tell her to protest factory emissions and dumping nuclear waste in seas. I agree yes most of us are stuck in our familiarities.

    I see the world as kind of an anime with another episode every day and another season after every greater step such as leaving one town and move on to the other. There are so many similar things that it's for me the most clear perspective to look at it. It's also helping me to believe that each problem will be solved some day and followed by happiness.

    *Great minds think alike *

    *I think my battery (my heart) would have died long ago in despair if it were not for these blessings in my life*

    *That's the only time I would agree that you can stare at someone hard disapprove all you want....cancer infested waters and ozone depleted areas are no laughing matter.*
