He said can ask you a very important question?

Inodded in acceptance.

I nodded, in acceptance, and then he asked, am i a mad man.

The obvious answer, from a sane person, will be, No and that was what i said.

thank you he replied, then he said.

just because i don't see things the way other people do, does that make me a mad man.

No, I answered again.

he bent down, wrote (W) but i was amazed when he replied to my answer, You only see (W) because of the angle at which you are looking at it.

if you turn upside down you'll see (M) if you look from the right side, it is (3) and looking at it from the left side, it is (E).

The fact that i don't see things at the perspective that everyone is seeing it doesn't make me mad man, he said. Then he left.

I pondered for so long about this and its application to life.

Because we act, and relate to people, based on the perspective at which we are looking at their situation.

Have you taken your time to look at other possible perspectives?

I then decided that, before i get angry with, or act against, or judge anyone that has done something unfavourable to me, i will wiew it in at least three possible perspectives;

1 my ow, perspective, 2 his own perspective and, 3 others perspective.

So, before you judge people, before you rage your anger on them, take a little time to wiew their angle or perspective, and, if you still cannot see a reasonable reason, then you may act REASONABLY.

Mad man among sensible people. however, it happened one day that one of the inhabitants of the village wanted to take a bath in the nearby river.

so he went away, took off his clothes, put them on the bank and jumped into the water.

there upon pops up fool. seeing the clothes deposited on the bank by the swimmer, he was in no hurry suffered no clocthes on him, put them on and hastened to show them to the village.

The bather, who had his back to him, noticed nothing. he only noticed the disappearance of his belongings when he went back to the shore to pick them up. but no matter how much he cast his eyes this way and that, all among the bank, he saw nothing more.

While walking, he suddenly sees, far ahead of him, our fool dressed in the clothes he seeks. immediately he setss off in pursuit in the direction of the village where he hopes that people will come to his help. Arrest the thief, arrest the thief, he shouts as loud as he can. But the people of the village, who have realize what is happening. they imagine that the one running behind is the fool, completely naked, and the one running away in front of him, fully clothed, is one of their normal neigbors.

they therefore welcome the former in their arms and make him a rampart with their bodies, while they seize the bather and tie him tightly to prevent him from hurting the one who took his belongings, without even letting him time to explain...

Conclusion of the Story: Never get carried away in a matter, but always act calmly, otherwise you risk being wrong even when you are right.

If our bather had gone quietly to the village to explain himself, he would have had the people on his side.

But these, seeing him arrive all out of himself, took him for a Mad Man.
