When People Just Don’t Get What You Want
I have realized whenever I hear the conflicts, and problems
that come in my office on a day-to-day basis. That most of the issues stem from
misguided perception from different points of views. I keep hearing people say
“Tell Me I am RIGHT!, or” Tell Me that They are Wrong!.” The question really lies in, is there really
a right or wrong whenever there is belief on how you think things should be.
·
I ask myself ok Well What then defines right or
wrong?
·
Who defines right or wrong?
·
What if there is finally an agreement on who is
right and wrong, then what… is the problem solved then, where everyone leaves
happy!
All I can say is that each one has their own set of values,
and within those values they have them in a specific order.
The definition of wrong is “not correct
or true.” So then can you prove beliefs, and opinions to be true. As a far as I
remember an opinion is something you cannot prove and a fact is something you
can prove to be right or wrong.
So an awesome strategy that I use to
help with those disagreements on opinions and beliefs is finding as much facts
that can be proven true or false.
I recently finished reading “The
Alchemist by Paulo Coelho” There was a parable in there from which I found very
interesting.
There were seven mice and each one had
a different part of the elephant. The mouse that had the trunk said that it was
a snake. The mouse that had the midsection said it was a big wall. And etc.
The moral of the story: For me again in
my opinion not a fact that each person’s opinion is different and opinions don’t
really have a wrong or right. It’s just an opinion a belief.
