OMG, a giant spider is attacking my neighborhood!!!
That's what it looks like, right? A humongous spider is terrorizing the neighborhood by climbing along the telephone wires, on its way to wreak havoc and destruction. Of course, that is what the perspective of the picture makes it look like. In fact, the merely average sized spider in question is hanging out in his tangled web just a few inches in front of my phone's camera, and a great distance from the telephone wires above us.
Things Are Rarely As Bad As They Seem
It is easy to draw the worst conclusion and overreact to things if you don't keep them in proper perspective. The choice is ours to make. We can be frightened by the things we believe to be giant attacking spiders, or we can recognize that, when put in perspective, the things we fear are not nearly as daunting as we let them become. The "spiders" that scare us are actually small and relatively harmless. Put in perspective, we realize it is not that hard, if you're paying attention, to avoid them and not get caught up in a web of anxiety. Keeping things in perspective helps us avoid unnecessary angst and stress.
Life's too short to spend it worrying about giant attacking spiders, don't you think?
