As British Airways was taking off and I watched the lights of the city recede into insignificance it made me think about what perspective most of us are in when it comes to life.
Whenever I book a seat I like to face forward. I asked my husband what he preferred and he thought it was an odd question as he doesn’t mind – a seat is a seat.
For me it is important. I like to watch things getting bigger as I approach them. If you are going backwards you only see things once they have passed and invariably they are getting smaller. So in essence, when you face forward – you greet life and when you go backwards – you say good-bye as you have no option but to see things receding (unless you don’t mind getting a stiff neck).
Both seats are on the same plane, train, boat or whatever other means of transport you choose but each gives you a different perspective. Life is all about what perspective we choose to be in. After all it is all one earth, one air, one life.
What seat do yo
u prefer – F or B?
