You’re wrong.
He’s right.
She’s wrong.
You’re right.
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Who’s to tell?
Right and wrong trade places all the time - depends on WHO sees it, HOW they see and experience the situation.
PERSPECTIVE.
It’s all in the perspective - the frame of reference.
A stopped clock may not be showing the correct time.
But think about it…
EVEN a stopped clock is RIGHT, TWICE a day.
Consider this situation…
It’s cloudy. It’s getting dark. The sun is hardly visible.
Is that right or wrong?
Well, that’s irrelevant.
BUT, the above situation COULD mean so many things to so many people depending on the frame of reference:
DEPRESSION, for a tourist who loves outdoors.
JOY, for the hobbyist gardener who’s been waiting to plant seeds.
DISASTER, for a farmer who is ready to harvest his wheat.
RELIEF, for the same tourist who’s wandering in a desert desperately in search of water.
Once, it so happened, all these people met and shared their experiences about that cloudy day.
They ended up arguing with each other about the cloudy day - whether it was good or bad, and who was right about it.
Now, who’s right and who’s wrong?
Who would you defend?
The cloudy day was never the problem.
It was just a situation people had to deal with - they had to do what they had to do.
Right or wrong was irrelevant - it existed only in their minds.
How many times do we end up arguing with our loved ones, co-workers, and friends to prove a point? (I’m no exception)
The number of bridges we’ve burned to prove ourselves right…
We all live in our own bubbles.
If only we made an attempt to genuinely put ourselves in their shoes to truly contemplate what they might be going through…
If we see their perspective just ONCE…
…perhaps, we’d respond differently.
On a lighter note…
I’m trying hard to lose my belly fat and gain muscle.
My weighing scale doesn’t seem to budge.
I’ve been blaming the metric system all these years.
I had an aha-moment this morning after I finished writing this post.
PERSPECTIVE. 💡
It’s all about the perspective.
There was a toggle switch on my weighing scale - I set it to lbs.
I’m now twice my original weight - all muscle and no fat.
See what I mean? 😄
