Life's lessons !

[R V Rao]

Understanding & Misunderstanding

You are extremely thirsty and  hoping to find water .

Suddenly, you notice a person standing at the nearby building

 enquires

“Do you want some water ?

your opinion is that he is good person.

Then the person  gestures you to come & he goes inside.

You quickly rush to the building…

But for the next 15 minutes, he doesn't come out.

Now what would you think about that person? A very bad person.

After some time, the person finally comes out and says,

“Sorry for the delay.  I thought of bringing you lemonade instead of just water.”

Now  you think he is a nice person.

You take a sip…

And realize there is no sugar in it at all!

your opinion changes…He is bad

 The person  takes out a small packet of sugar from his pocket and says,

“I didn’t add sugar  because I didn’t know how much  sugar you take .”

Now what is your opinion about that person? He is too good.

Just within 15–20 minutes, your opinions changed many times.

If our thoughts and judgments can change so quickly in such an ordinary situation, then how can we judge someone without truly knowing them?

How can we decide what kind of person he is,based only on appearances or incomplete understanding?

Instead of misunderstanding people, shouldn’t we not try to understand them?

We like people, as long as they behave as we think

The moment they don’t, we label them “bad.”

Misunderstandings can damage relationships deeply.

[Dr Sundar]
