Movement of perspective towards life and changes in directly related complexities

Perspective towards life is alive, shifting with time, experience, and the unfolding of our own inner growth. What feels complex and overwhelming in one moment can, with distance, appear simple or even unnecessary. And yet, at that earlier point, we didn’t have the vantage we carry now.

This is the paradox of living:

• At the moment itself—we act with the clarity and tools available to us, often tangled in immediate complexities.

• With time and experience—we gain new lenses, and those same choices look different, sometimes even regrettable.

• In reflection—we realize that both states were true: the past self did the best it could, and the present self sees more.

 

ETHICS OF REMBERANCE

     

I have tried to draw a parallel between the overlooked role of the left hand of a right handed person  and the quiet, often invisible contributions of people who support us.

The right hand may be the one that writes or serves, but without the left hand’s steadying presence, the act itself becomes incomplete. In the same way, society often celebrates the “visible” figure—the doctor, the leader, the performer—while forgetting the many hands that make their work possible: nurses, assistants, caregivers, family, even the unseen labor of those who prepare the space.

 What I am pointing to is the ethics of remembrance—to honor not just the one in the spotlight, but the constellation of support around them. It’s a reminder that wholeness is always collaborative.

To honor one is good, to honor all is grace!
