What's your Point of View?

Have you noticed the impact your surroundings has on you based upon your point of view? For example, if you ever return to your childhood elementary school, all the rooms seem smaller, the halls narrower and the building's size is not nearly as massive as you remembered. You're taller now than you were when you went to school, and so is your point of view. Your visual perspective has risen perhaps 50% since when you attended grade school. When you're closer to the ground, your perspective is lower. Imagine then what a birds-eye view does for perspective on life.
