THE LESSON OF THIS SHORT STORY
We can all just imagine that, through out our lifes we belive many things and we hold dear what we think is right and true but at times there will be others who disagree with us. What we belive to be 100% right, they belive the opposite just as strongly and we wonder how can that be ? can't they see?. We could become frustrated, we might even sever relationships entirely but we should jux try to slow down, breath. Step into the other persons shoes. It'll really make all the difference .
