A short essay on Perspective
Perspective literally means point of view or the way you see a certain situation.
We all can have a different perspective for the same situation. We judge a person just by the way he/she looks during the first 10 seconds of seeing him/her. Thats how quickly we form assumptions and opinions. One can't help it. Its just the way our brain is wired.
'A book read by a thousand different people is a thousand different books.' - Andrei Tarkovsky
Some people can be optimistic in the worst situations while some can be negative in the best situations. Its just a matter of perspective. Some see the glass half-full. Some see it half-empty.
If a person can see a situation with different perspectives then we can say he/she is truly gifted. This is because that person can see both the good and bad in a situation which is hard because a lot of times when we think about something we usually see it in one way. We stick to that way because thats how we have always seen it or its the way we have been taught or thats the way we have seen people react to it.
Like , for a lot of people out there being optimistic is hard. Somehow they always find something wrong in everything and thats not a bad thing because the world is not a good place and you can't always assume everyone is nice. If you just keep finding the negative then you never know when you turned into a pessimist. To those people a little change in perspective is what they need just to see the glass half full and and not half empty. There is nothing wrong in seeing the bad side of anything but seeing the better side is just as important.
Try to find the good in bad and the bad in good next time. If you are bored then it's a fun way to pass time or you can say I'm a strange person.
Thats all for now. Ciao ;)
