Why should you consider others viewpoint? You perceive world through five senses. What you see, feel, touch, smell and hear is received by sense organs. Your brain process all this infomation.
This processing is based upon the information you already have and environment you are in to. Because of our limitations whatever opinion we come up with is likely to be flawed.
An ant rests on a flower in meditation posture
Microcosm to Macrocosm
Let’s ponder on miniature creatures like ants, If an ant had to understand how human being lived and behaved, it would somehow have to raise its consciousness to the level of man. For the ant to do that would involve a quantum leap, for there is no mechanism whereby a ant can reach that level of consciousness.
Convergence of Viewpoints
The population of world is approaching seven billion people. If a survey could be undertaken, we would probably find that there are are different perspective on life on this planet. Every person views through different filters, our upbringing the environment we live in, our education our social status our financial situation and the traditions and customs of our country. There are countless factors that influence our outlook on life.
Scaling the Comprehension
Even with our limitations, mankind has made many wonderful advances in the medical, scientific and engineering fields. When we look at our position in the cosmos, we see that we are as insignificant as a grain of a sand. So putting this event in its proper context, landing a man on the moon could be about as important as an ant crossing the road.
You’re Always Right Even when You’re Wrong
You have always been and always will be right, Always! Then the mystics tell us that there are numerous realms of existence and consciousness much higher then the human level. So how does we raise our consciousness to penetrate these higher realms of existence? The data is captured by the brain, processed, analysed and evaluated and then we formulate our finding or opinion. You’re always right even when you’re wrong.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. – Marcus Aurelius
