People called him mad-man
but I was surprised when he moved close to me,
He said, โcan I ask you a very important question?โ
I nodded, in acceptance,
and then,
he asked, โam I a mad man?โ
The obvious answer, from a sane person, will be, "no",
and that was what I said.
โThank you!โ, he replied;
then he said,
โjust because I donโt see things the way other people do, does that make me a mad man?โ
"No", I answered again.
He bent down, wrote โWโ,
and asked me what he wrote.
At this point, I was already feeling ashamed,
getting involved in a lengthy conversation with him.
In a hurry to leave, I said โwโ,
but I was amazed when he replied to my answer,
โYou only see 'W',
because of the angle at which you are looking at it.
If you turn upside down, you'll see โMโ;
If u look from the right side, it is โ3โ,
and looking at it from the left side, it is โEโ.
The fact that I donโt see things at the perspective that everyone is seeing it doesnโt make me a mad man, he said. Then he left.
I pondered for so long about this and its application to life.
Because We act, and relate to people, based on the perspective at which we are looking at their situation.
Have you taken your time to look at other possible perspectives?
I then decided that,
before I get angry with, or act against, or judge anyone that has done something unfavourable to me,
I will view it in at least three possible perspectives;
1.my own perspective,
2.his own perspective and
3.others perspective'.
So, before you judge people, before you rage your anger on them, take a little time to view their angle or perspective, and, if you still cannot see a reasonable reason, then you may act REASONABLY .
