Perspectives
Well it’s like being a captain obvious in saying that there are different perspectives on any single event/instance/anything. But it is always fascinating to pause, rewind and think about those little moments. At the least they will make you smile.
Last month me and my lady were shopping on some of our bathroom utilities. When it came to buying a bath sponge (wash cloth) my point of argument was to buy a grey (or similar color) one. It looks okay and the good point is that even if it’s a little stained (and yes I love to be clean) due to regular use it won’t be that visible and still usable. Her point was on the opposite – getting a brighter color bath sponge will be easy to see when is a good time to replace. Completely different perspectives. Point taken my lady. When you’ve won her heart you don’t have to win on all the perspectives battle.
On a similar note – last week I took my best ladies (Suju and Indu) on a dinner. (Thanks Suju for finding a great Thai diner). There was this picture which in lack of better words I will mention as an abstract art. And as expected we had all different perspectives on the picture and its meaning. What’s your take on this?
