A few weeks back, I was travelling with my friend to Mumbai. It was a night flight and as the
plane took off we were looking down to see the well lit township down. My friend brought my
attention to the fire crackers happening somewhere down in a temple or church. We could
see the fireworks as a small flower opening & fading out. This was the same phenomenon
which we used to watch with awe from land. Our vision and conversation drifted to a variety
of matters, but my thoughts wandered back to the sight of fireworks that I saw with a
different feeling.
I was thinking what was the major difference in the sight. It was not a task to understand that
the position from which I saw the sight made all the difference. The perspective of each
person varies from where he "stands" to view the situation. His 'stand' is dependent on his
values, beliefs & past life experiences. Everyone's perspective will be different from others'
and that is the source of all discords in life. In order to reduce our stress in life, we need to
widen our "Field of Acceptance". In medical science, there is something called "field of
vision" ie., the area in front & around our eyes which comes under our ability of vision.
involves interpersonal relationships, we are like horses with vision guards which reduces the
semi circular field of vision to more of a "V". We must remove our "vision guards" and
increase our *"Field of Acceptance"*. You may not accept all of others' point of views, but
definitely can respect others' freedom of having their *Perspectives.*
