There's more to it than just looking. You have to gather ALL the facts.
This goes along with the half empty or half full glass. You have to ask what was happening before you were asked the question. Was the glass full and someone emptied half of it? Or was the glass empty and someone filled it halfway?
Naaah, that just marks the place where Schroedinger's cat sits ;-)
ReplyDeleteStu - Or where Schroedinger's cat was left laying.
ReplyDeleteI'll just go with 69.
ReplyDeleteBill - Amen, hallelujah, and oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteOkay so I'm seeing the Number Sideways Mike... so... (just kidding). Yes, perspective and gathering all the facts plays a role in conclusions you formulate. I think some people are hard wired to view things more in a Positive way and others in a Negative way, so their perspectives about the exact same experiences will vary wildly due to that.
ReplyDeleteGood one Mike!
ReplyDeleteThere are three sides to every story. Your, mine, and the truth.
ReplyDeleteDawn - I think you're right about the hard wiring.
ReplyDeleteCloudia - Maikaʻi kanaonokūmāiwa.
Kathy - Robert Evans
I say "Yes. It's half full and half empty."
ReplyDeleteWe can see the good, or we can see the bad. We can also see both.
Cheers.
Be well, Mike.
