After my initial thoughts of writing something and having
written something about ‘writing’, then came other day where my fingers were on
ASDF JKL; eager to flow-in the thoughts running in my mind into the brain of
laptop, but this damn thought process in me was still in pursuit of ideas going
at tortoise phase leaving the fingers jobless, which were just bracing over
keys without hitting anything, then I started leaning back on the chair till
the head rested back, next reflex which followed
was my eyes were closing, hands were moving away from keyboard and eight of the
ten fingers were gently caressing the sides
of forehead, with outer edge of thumbs resting on cheeks just in from of ears,
probably they were hoping that would accelerate the condition, Looks like they
were right, something just stroke and disappeared that left eyes wide open,
some sensible meme which made me read it multiple times gradually faded in and
out till it stood still, although the source of it was vaguely visible, the
content was crystal clear, It was about Opinions and Perspectives, let me share
my views( sorry!! Opinion J ) about it today... Finally fingers got some job J
All these years having come across many shades which are part
of our life including likes, dislikes, laughter, tears, love, arguments, surprises,
disappointments, compromises, madness, etc, and few unanswered queries covering
- Why me? Why not this way? Why did I fight with him? What made her move away
from me? And few times we wish the time to start flying backwards and get an opportunity
to rectify few things – a wish that might never be granted, and the list
continues which will be way different for each of us, only thing that is
constant with all of us is the variable – opinion which varies daily and is usually governed by
the perspective we get to see everyday.
Well, here is the meme which gave me a topic to crib today:
Which side of the mug has the handle?
Batman: It’s
on the left bro!!
Superman: It’s on the right buddy.
Batman: No!! I can see it clearly Superman, It’s on the left
Superman: What are you talking dude, do you think am lying?
...
...
This was one fascinating piece of explanation I came across
in recent times, which accurately depicted how strangely our opinions can
differ based on our perspectives, So Who’s right and who’s wrong in above
conversation? Batman or Superman? Just by looking at the picture, we tend to
take the batman’s side and think this superman is no more super, But the fact
is, If they are sitting on opposite sides of a table facing each other, none of
them may be wrong, Superman would continuously argue with Batman unless he
comes over the other side and takes a look at the mug and says “Oh yeah!! Sorry
bro, I didn’t look at the mug from your angle”, the same with us too?
Just as an example, for some, Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest
cricketer of all time because of his master class strokes, for some Virat Kohli
because of his consistency at young age, for some its Dhoni because of different
reason, and for some it’s not a valid comparison to begin with, for some cricket isn’t a
sports at all, and for some “who is Sachin Tendulkar?” and some makes an issue for
not knowing Sachin, and some argue what is wrong in not knowing him. So this
circle of opinions about little master can grow endlessly, Is anyone wrong here? again its upto individuals, I believe each one of them formed their own opinion about the topic by the perspective they got to see or hear, The point I am
trying to make here is, we would have walked hundreds, possibly thousands of miles
in life, with friends and family, seen each thing, each incident from the
vision it allowed us to see it, understood it the way we learn it, saved
memories as we saw them, formed opinion about someone or something based on what others told, as we may think other peson had
right perspective, there is nothing wrong about it, we are slaves of our own
master and we just listen to our master, we generate opinions based on our
perspective,
Did we not encounter the similar situation in our life as the
mug drama between Batman and Superman? How often we fight with our dear
ones with a strong belief that we are right? happens quiet easily?, Every
time we miss the simplest step to put ourselves into other person’s shoes and
have a look at it even though other person may be wrong or right, we never know
what hardships others have faced, what battles others are fighting, and what perspectives they got to form their
opinion. Though our master doesn’t allow us to do so, we will have to try to come
out, if at all we don’t want to have the unanswered queries. Oh Yeah, Me? I am
still a beginner, who just started to understand the world; I will put my best
efforts to broaden my perspective J
There is a good kannada movie named Ulidavaru Kandante directed by Rakshit Shetty, which revolves around an incident in which each character narrates the story in their own perspectives. good to watch.
