“One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist”.
Life is all about perspectives, what is right for you might not be right for me and what in your view is the truth might be the complete false for me. Humans tend to differ a lot, it is something in our nature. God created us all unique, no two minds can have the exact same thought on an issue. So how to decide which perspective is the correct one? Which version of the story is non-edited? Among the many gifts God has blessed us humans with is the gift of thinking and reasoning. This element which makes us above par from all creations can be and is used to resolve a lot of matters. By logical reasoning and analyzing a situation we draw conclusions and eventually solutions. However even the best of brains can be flawed in their reasoning as we tend to be biased towards our interests. An important point to remember is that when making a decision or passing a judgement over a matter one should consider all possible angles and view points of everyone involved should be taken into consideration. It is something tough to do because we are very quick to judge matters and take actions without knowing or even listening to the complete issue. This without doubt leads to flawed justice on individual level and on a larger scale impacts the entire society. If only we could be tolerant enough to hear what others have to say on a given matter may be we would be able to make more apt and just decisions. This is a habit which everyone needs to develop, it may not look like but the power of critical thinking and logical reasoning plays a very important role in our life. Each and every decision that we make is effected by this very phenomena then why act in haste? Why not first look at the whole picture and then make up our minds? They say there are three sides to everything. Your side, my side and the truth!
Good Morning
