Only I can see my world from my eyes.

In this world of population of around 7.4 billion (approx.) we come across new faces every day and we realize that not everyone is same, we all are different from one another. I mean imagine if everyone looked the same or experienced life in the same manner as you did. Wouldn't it be dull? Yes, of course and I have come to realize that these differences are the ones that make us a different individuals and gives us an identity. We all want people to understand us and accept our thoughts but this is not possible always, we often have arguments with our known ones because of the different thought process that we have, or different opinions on different things. I believe that in spite of arguing over it why don’t we invest our time to find a reason behind everyone's perspective. I trust that all our thoughts, actions and words depend upon our own previous past experiences, our social environment and this is why every individual have their own way of looking at things. We cannot expect everyone to understand us, that is not practical. We have to accept that every person have lived their life in different ways, not all of us had the same upbringing and same facilities, same opportunities, same kind of experiences, criticism, talents, abilities and environment. The other day I was communicating with one of my juniors who had a quote as her display stating "I don’t want to look back and realize I could have done better." This quote was perceived by her in a negative manner as she didn’t wanted to look at her past and introspect what had gone wrong and how much she could have done better, on the other side I made her look at this quote in an entirely different manner, I asked her that why does she don’t want to look back? What had gone wrong? I told her I would have loved to look back and realize what I could have done better because now in present I realize that I have developed the abilities and I am now capable enough of doing things in a much better way, I would have loved to look back and realize that now I have improvised and I am much more stronger, capable and learned than what I was yesterday. It's now I realize that today I am better than yesterday and that means that I am not just existing, I am living, I am improving and I am developing. I believe in learning through my mistakes and more over all the situations I face and every person I meet, I like to keep up with peoples perspective and understand there point of looking at things and I reason, What has led to such perspective? What's their story? What have they experienced? . We all will always be correct in our eyes, there are no good or bad deeds committed by anyone, it's just our perspective of looking at things. A criminal is right in his/her eyes, because according to their perspective that has been led by their past experiences, they are right. By this I am not saying we have to accept their perspective and let it be, we can try to understand their perspective and try to rectify it, make them understand the difference between right or wrong. We should try to understand and accept everyone's perspective and rather than fighting or arguing about it, we should be patient enough to make them look through our eyes. This world will be such a peaceful place to live if we just try to understand each other and start communicating in the real sense, rather than reaching to conclusions and further misinterpretation. Every problem can be resolved if we just try to accept and understand. At times, it might be our chance to make people understand or it might be our chance to understand others, because only I can see my world from my eyes, not the world and for a peaceful mind all we have to do is understand and accept the 'Individual Differences'.
