Then you ask them a report about, "What do you see?"
They are all looking at the exactly same Merlion, but are you sure they're going to report the same thing?
Atlas which stands on the right side will came out with report:
"I saw a Merlion statue, the water is splashing to my right side and there's a lot of people taking photo near the bay. I also saw the Esplanade Theater, Mandarin Hotel and The Float"
Chris which stands on the left side will came out with report:
"I saw a Merlion statue, the water is splashing to my left side and there are a lot of people eating at the food court there and sitting while having a good time. I also saw One Fullerton, Singapore Business District, the counter for Singapore River Cruise and a Starbucks a little further down the road"
Blake which stands on the back side will came out with report:
"I saw a Merlion statue, the water is splashing to the front side and there's a river before the Marina Bay Sand. I also saw the Hotel, the Helix Bridge, The Singapore Flyer and the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands"
Can you guess what Dunne which stands (or rather float in the water) report will be?
"I f*cking saw a Merlion statue, the water is f*cking splashing right at me. It's f*cking cold in here and I'm tired of trying to float my self in the water and I have to keep on moving. All I can see is water everywhere. This is sh*t! Why do I get to be the one who stays in the f*cking water. This is f*cking b*llsh*t."
Does anybody got my point already?
They all saw the same statue, but even to where the direction of the water is splashing, they tell a different story, a completely and totally opposite and plus with anger from Dunne.
This is life, we sometimes see a problem from one angle only and we don't even try to try another angle or another point of view. If we back on the case, How if there's more than just 4 views? maybe there's another Eric who stands at the Esplanade Park? or how if we put Frost on the top of Marina Bay Sands? there are always hundreds points of view. Sometimes we dare to speak out loud and scream out point of view without having seen all the point of view.
Now if there are only four point of view and we decided to explore another point of view, you may be having a better understanding of the issue. First you take the Atlas' place and now you understand why he reports what his report says, you take Chris' position and you're starting to get a grip on the difference, you take Blake's place and now you get the most of it. But then you saw Dunne's place. Then you're in doubt because you can't swim and you can't be in the water. So you start to make conclusion based on those three point of views. I would say, how dare you!!!
There are a very critical point of view rather than Atlas, Blake and Chris. Those three people are standing in a higher ground and having a good view of everything. But people sometimes forget the point of view from Dunne, the Point of view of the VICTIM. The one who suffer the most. You have to realize, yeah they also have a point of view and I can't say they have the most Righteous point of view, but by God they do have a point of view.
Based on the report, only Dunne's report looks angry. Why? because he's in the water, tired and he has the crap that the other three doesn't feel and let say, they all got the same amount of paycheck. We sometimes forget this critical point of view and sometimes we don't even want to explore another point of view. We are stuck in our own opinion and state it to the world as if we are the most righteous one.
All four of the subjects are speaking the truth and they are all true but with one catch. They are all only true on their own point of view. Chris will always against Atlas opinion because they have the exact opposite. Blake will never understand why Dunne is so angry because they look things on a different heights.
People will split into four or thousands different of groups for that matter.
Can't we just agree to disagree?
The most important point for us, the other people, the viewer who only know a story from one r two or three sides, where there are tens of another sides, always remember to stay neutral and don't join a cause just because one point of view then you create something that you will regret your whole life or even create a mass-damage that will need a very long time to heal.
People are having their own opinion and they are entitled to it because they have their own experience. We,who don't have knowledge to it, have a CHOICE... whether we want to stay neutral or we want to act irrationally before we know all the facts.
For you Indonesian Doctors, please understand the point of view of the patient who charge very expensive on the medical bill, for all the tears they've shed, for all the hardship they endure to get money for medication, for all the expensive medicine they pay where they can pay cheaper for the same result but they don't know, and for
everything.
For you Indonesian Patients, please understand all the hardship that those doctors went through, all the money they spent on the education all the time they spent on studying to make people healthier, all the tears they've shed during the exam and the training as young doctors, all the time they spent staying up late worrying about your condition, All the efforts they gave when they give you surgery, and for everything.
We all have faith in life. If we don't know a single clue about what we're talking about, talk from a neutral position and don't judge. Don't get easily angry or condemned when we don't actually know the true reason behind it.
STAY NEUTRAL AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
I just hope the world can be a better and peaceful place to live.
Let the people who had the quarrel finish it before the law, and for the rest of us, lets just watching it silently. Don't fall into someone's agenda setting that easy.
