Payoff from life

My windows were wide open.  
I learned to think broader,  
I used to see the broader picture through my windowpane.  
My wider views never taught me to squint my eyes  
when it was time to look through others' spectacles.  
I felt human bonds were made in paradise:  
thus I evoked all the pain.
Failing to endure all the mental tortures from humankind,
doubts are evoking in my mind;
I don't know if that was just a green screen behind my windowpane!
