PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE

The Opposite is the truth

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son,

"How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

So,... tell me ..., what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:

"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and

they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and

they have the stars at night ...

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and

they have fields that go beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us;

they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't PERSPECTIVE a wonderful thing? Make you wonder what would happen if we all give thanks for eveything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

PERSPECTIVE is ...

The Real U in a Real World in Real Space and Real Time.

Virtual Realities diminish Existential Being.

Wealth and poverty are just such virtual realities.

True realities take cue from a different paradigm.

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your FRIENDS.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
