God's Eye View

You have heard of the phase "God's eye view". Here is my thought on seeing through God's eye view. I guess God's eye view is multi-dimensional. It also has the dimension of time. If you can see through God's eye view, you can also transcend time. You can see a person at his or her best. You can see a time when he or she is most loved by somebody and everybody. You can see a time when he or she is so helplessly cute as a baby. Or you can see a time when your heart will weep for this person.

How then, can you hate this person? Or anybody? Everybody will have up and down times. If you can see a person when he or she is so downtrodden as to be pitiful, you will find it to be angry with him or her.

I have never thought of this until Gracie is born. Through her, I can see my past and the future. My past as a child and my future through the memories of my parents in my childhood, and how my baby will see me when I am older.

It has made me more tolerant of other people. Not as virtuous as God but more understanding when I can remind myself that everybody was once a cute baby - like my Gracie. That is God's eye view to me.
