Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth
Perspective gives us the ability to accurately contrast the large with the small, and the important with the less important. Without it we are lost in a world where all ideas, news, and information look the same. We cannot differentiate, we cannot prioritize, and we cannot make good choices.
For Example : In a traffic accident, there will be many different perspectives on what happened. The driver of one car will have one view, another driver will have different one.
Lets read a story of how different perspective of an human can change the world.
In 1902, a professor asked his student whether it was God who created everything that exists in the universe ?
Student replied: Yes
He again asked: what about evil ? Has God created evil also?
The student got silent....
Then the student requested that may he ask a question for him?
Professor allowed him to do so.
He asked: Does cold exist
Professor said : yes ! Don't u feel the cold dear.
Student said: I'm sorry but your wrong sir. Cold is a complete absence of heat. There is no cold, it is only an absence of heat.
Student asked again: Does darkness exist ?
Professor said: yes !
Student replied: You are again wrong sir.There is no such thing like darkness. Its actually the absence of light. Sir ! We always study light & heat, but not cold & darkness.
Similarly, the evil does not exist. Actually it is the absence of love, faith & true belief in God.
That student was Albert Einstein.
You are a half glass of water. Your perspective determines whether you focus on what you have or what you are missing. It is wise to be aware of personal and social shortcomings. However, life is richer when you immerse yourself in the great things within your reach.
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections
