Perspective

How do u feel when I say somebody has attacked the parliament? ofcourse terrorists. No I am not talking about 2001 attack but the attack carried out by Bhagat singh and his freinds during british raj!!!

See how perspective can change one's view abt an event. It seems just natural for englishmen to view this as a terrorist act and prosecute the people responsible for it.

I feel even the epic mahabharata is written from a pandavas/krishna's perspective. I mean who would name their son as 'dur'yodhana or 'du'shyashana (pardon my spelling plz). And this epic should be the only place where running away with ladies cloth while they are bathing, would have viewed as a godly act :) (try that now and you will be killed :-\) And what with 16k wives!!! And killing karna, drona, bheeshma, duryodhana etc all in a sinful way... hmm sure he got away with all those.

so moral of this whole story is you should always step into other's shoes before forming a decision, that is, you should view things in multiple perspectives.

Next time you face an argument, make out what made the other person think like that and then state your opinion. Your opinion will be more valued this way.

See my blog has a good personality improvement tip too :) and don't even charge consultation for that!!!

p.s. This post is not intended to offend anybody. Just a personal opinion which may change over time :)
