2 minutes that might change your PERSPECTIVE

How come some of the rich and famous commit suicide, and some homeless people smile from ear to ear? One word: PERSPECTIVE

Are the lines straight or slanting?

You earn $1000 a month, you spend $500 a month, you feel you're doing well
You earn $10000 a month, you spend $9500 a month, you feel you're not doing well
- Both save $500 a month but why does it feel different?

You used to earn $200 a month, now you earn $3000 a month, you're feeling lucky
You used to earn $5000 a month, now you earn $3000 a month, you're feeling fucked
- Both earn $3000 a month but why does it feel different?

When you're dentist wears a mask, it's out of respect for his patients
When you don't want to wear a mask, it's your right
- Both are supposed to wear masks for others, why should it be different?

When you litter on the floor, it's fine, cause it's not your problem
When someone litters in your backyard, it's not okay
- Litter is litter, why would location make a difference?

A Muslim carries a gun, he's a terrorist.
A non-religious person carries a gun, he's exercising his rights
- Why should religion be the difference?

When an Asian eats durian it's disgusting
When an Asian refuses Blue cheese they have no class
- Okay, this is just me personally hating people calling food that they don't eat disgusting

When you needed money, I am the asshole for not lending
When I ask for my money back, I am the asshole for chasing
But when it's the other way round, I am the asshole for not paying

Sorry it got political and personal for a second LOL. Something more close to home for poker players

When you breakeven after you were winning feels like a loss
When you breakeven after you were losing feels like a win
- Both breakeven but why is it different?

When you have KK vs AA and you lose, it's a cooler
When you have KK vs AA, and flopped a set, and lose, it's a bad beat
- Both times you lost to AA, why should it be different?

If I lose to a guy I like, it's not too bad
If I lose to a guy I dislike, it hurts more
- Both lost the same amount but why does it feel different?

My point is if you look at everything closely, from all perspectives, it is all the same. There's always two sides of the story, sometimes more. And if you can see things always from the right perspective, you will be a happier person, and if all of us do that, the world would be a better place. If we learned to look at things from other perspectives, then we can empathize with others better.  

Something off topic, but did you know, if the whole world, and I mean the whole world and everyone in it, just stayed home and not go out for 14 days straight, then COVID would be over. Problem is there will always be the selfish ones who thinks the rules don't apply to them.
