Making A Mountain Out Of A Molehill, Perspective

KEEP PERSPECTIVE, MOLE HILL VS MOUNTAIN…

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (two parts)

I HAVE A PAIR OF BINOCULARS… I ask someone to look through backwards --- things are small and distant. Then I ask another person to look through them the proper way --- it makes things larger and closer.

I knew an artist, his perspective was amazing. I knew an art critic his perspective was so different, he was looking for something wrong with the art piece. What are you an artist or an art critic? I knew a preacher that sold suits. He could tell you what size suit a man wore without asking. I had a mechanic ride with me to Tennessee within two miles he told me I had a problem. I was visiting with a group of mothers. Their children were playing. There was a sudden scream, one mom jumped up and ran.

She knew her child’s cry. Why? It all has something to do with our background, experience and perspective.

*PERSPECTIVE: your mental view, the way you see something, outlook, position, a point of view, a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something,

*TO KEEP PERSPECTIVE: to look at the whole picture, to see things in their proper relation/proportion, to step back and see things in a balanced way, to see things in how they relate.

DISTORTED PERSPECTIVE… BECOMES A REALITY IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER…

Christmas day 2020 on Second Street downtown Nashville rocked as a camper was filled with explosives and we met a man named ANTHONY QUINN WARNER, 63 years old. The bomber’s dad had worked for Bell South, a communications company. Later Bell South merged with AT&T. ANTHONY WARNER was an IT (Information Technologist) man and knew much about computers and communications systems. It was reported that Warner loved marijuana.

Warner was single and lived alone. A month before the bombing Warner deeded his house over to a woman. Warner told several of his neighbors that soon Nashville and the world would never forget him. In August the year before the Nashville Police was warned Warner was building a bomb. It was reported that Anthony’s girlfriend PAMELA PERRY reported on August 21, 2019 that Anthony was suicidal and making bombs. It was reported Warner never “liked the police.” The police knocked on his door and there was no answer. They saw nothing out of the way so they never returned.

Christmas day Warner pulled the RV on to Second Street and there was a report of shots fired. Several police officers responded. The RV played a warning in 15 minutes a bomb was going off. 8 people were injured, 40 buildings damaged. The song DOWNTOWN, a 1964 hit was being played.

The police found a hat and one glove and was able to gather DNA evidence.

TALK ABOUT PERSPECTIVE, WARNER WAS PARANOID ABOUT THE NEW 5G TECHNOLOGY. Anthony believed this 5G SYSTEM was being used by the government to get information and SPY on people.

It appears he never wanted to harm anyone, he wanted to warn people of the 5G system and to disrupt the COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.

DISTORTED PERSPECTIVES CAN BIRTH FEAR AND TROUBLE.

Perspective: We had a friend that was a caregiver that sat with old people. They invited me over for a visit. We were sitting around the kitchen table and great fear came upon the old lady. She saw a huge spider in the middle of the table. Her caregiver said where? We could not see the spider. She told us where the spider was. We decided to pretend and we would kill “the big spider.” I crushed that big spider with a napkin. It was surely dead? The old lady jumped up, knocked her chair over and was screaming so loud. When I squished the big spider, 10 million baby spiders came running out of the napkin? Her fear was great. It was real? At least real to her?

ACUTE HOPELESSNESS CAN GROW OUT OF WRONG PERSPECTIVES. CHRONIC ISSUES (REOCCURRING, PERSISTANT, LONG TIME, CONSTANT) REINFORCED NEGATIVITY.

CHRONIC IS DEFINED AS LASTING AT LEAST 3 MONTHS. HOW ABOUT 38 YEARS?

John 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

Can you imagine the discussions that went on around this pool? There was a sick man that lay 38 years waiting for his miracle. This man was terribly handicapped. Not only was he handicapped every person laying around him had serious problems. This can alter your perspective. His friends all around him were a great multitude of sick people. They were blind people, lame people and paralyzed people.

YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND MY PERSPECTIVE… MY SITUATION HAS DEFINED ME. 38 LONG PAINFUL YEARS, I AM TRAPPED… I HAVE AN EXCUSE…
