Just Because You're Right, Doesn't Mean I'm Wrong

"The most ridiculous thing in humans is to fight over the same truth as if two different things, just because the means are not the same."

H Hiverss..! How are you? May you always be healthy and in God's protection....

What do you think about the perception above?

There are many people who are not good at constructing sentences well so that the meaning of what they say becomes unclear. Meanwhile, on the other hand, there are people who cannot accept long-winded sentences, so before they get to the heart of the problem they have to cut them down first.

When the two of them meet, it will be difficult to come up with an agreement, even though it could be that they are both aiming for the same goal.

Like the cliche story (if you've heard it, think of it as the first time you've heard it, hehehe 😁) about a blind person who was told to touch and describe an elephant. The first person said that an elephant had the shape of a trunk because what he touched was only the trunk. Meanwhile, the second person insisted on his opinion, saying that the shape of an elephant is long, like a tail, because the part he touched was the tail. Both of them certainly cannot be blamed. People's perception can depend on how they take the angle. Therefore, don't easily accuse other people of being wrong, just because we are right.

"We often feel we are right and blame other people who are different from us. Even though it's just a matter of different points of view."

We can stand on the number 6, but the person standing at the end of that number shouts, "This is the number 9, not 6."

What do you think? ridiculous isn't it? Even though things like this are often found in everyday cases.

For example, regarding parenting patterns for children. Mrs. A feels that her conventional method is the most correct, which is glorified because it has been tested for a long time. Meanwhile, Mrs. B, who feels highly educated, has broad insight, and is updated on science, feels that her new parenting theory is most correct. Even though the goal of holding a firm stance is the same. neither of them thought they would shape their children into bad people. The goal is definitely the same, to provide the best for their children. However, why have these differences become an endless war between mothers?

Like how a couple lives their relationship. There are those who fight almost every day because they feel they have to let go of the bitterness in their chests so that it doesn't explode in the future. However, other couples choose to hold back, because for them, the harsh words that are released cannot be taken back. If the sentence is bitter, one day the accumulated bitterness will make a person sick and want to vomit. So which one is True?

As said earlier, judging people in cases like this is unfair. Because both of them have justification for their versions.
