PERSPECTIVE

Four men stood with their backs to each other…one faced the North, one faced the South, one faced the East and one faced the West.   They spoke to each other and told of what they could see from their own view point…enlightening the imaginations of the others.   Then one day one said to another ‘how do I know if what you tell me is true�?nbsp; The one replied ’you don’t, you have to accept what I say, I don’t know if what you tell me is true either�?nbsp;  Then another one said ‘what if you are making things up to make your view better than mine�?nbsp; To which the reply was ‘I am not I only tell you what I see�?One day one said ‘what if we all move round a step and then we can get the view of what another sees�?nbsp; and so they did, the new views were different to what each had been used to, and then they moved round another step and again each saw a new view, and another step…looking at things they had only been told about�?they each realised that the reality of what they now saw with their own eyes was different to how their imaginations had created it from the words of the others. The view they imagined was different to the view they now saw.   When we listen to another’s view we create how we imagine it to be�?but we are not looking at it from their perspective�?only how we envisage it to be.   We cannot actually know how something is until we experience it for ourselves, the imagination is a wonderful tool…however it can offer a distorted scene of what is a reality…If only we could all step into another shoes and see what they see from their perspective…the different visions of others views�?each section�?then and only then would we truly see the full picture from every angle......
