The Importance of perspectives

I think the notion of everyone seeing the world with different eyes is true. Each person thinks differently, lives in a different context, and acts in different ways. I have seen it before, and I believe you all have too. In arguments, conversations, and even in movies and books, points of view are always there. Most situations have various perspectives and I feel that being able to understand that, can make daily life a lot easier sometimes, help you shape yourself, or develop more abilities to interact with others.

Perspective is the way someone regards something. What makes perspectives important is that they are present almost everywhere and always in life. That is because various situations surface every day, but even if they are similar, the people going through them are built differently. Think about it. A person is shaped by their family, friends, and contexts, and each of them is different. For this reason, it is not surprising that not everyone regards processes, and acts on something in a similar way. That means people's views can be contrasting, so learning about them might make daily life simpler.

The negative side of points of view is that no one will know every individual perspective. In other words, we do not always know what others are going through or thinking about. Moreover, even if we did know it, we would not necessarily understand it. That is where discussions, arguments, and sometimes hatred arises. However, this is not completely bad. I think it makes the world a little more interesting and intriguing. Not knowing all about people allows curiosity to grow and while trying to learn about those things one might make new friends or even shape one's thoughts and opinions by analyzing others’ outlook.

As I said before, I consider understanding important to live better. That is because being open to other thoughts builds sympathy, communication, and thus tolerance. These are all key factors in creating relationships with the people surrounding you. By acquiring them, one will most likely have healthier and better interactions with those around you. It is important because human beings all have a social life, and it is a relevant part of who we are, how we live, and what we feel. Therefore, improving relationships by understanding might lead to progress in many fields of one’s life; from friendships to one’s feelings.

In conclusion, I believe that understanding that there are different points of view has a big importance in life because it makes every day easier, can increase one’s knowledge, and help develop better relationships.
