The second side to the coin...

Many times in our lives, we face situations that require dissection, some sort of reaction from our side. And a majority of times it may not be involving you yourself to any extent. We may be reacting to situations or incidents happening around us;things that may be affecting people we hold close to our heart. Some of us term it as "poking your nose" and some call it a "caring response" depending on how we react to these judgements.

But one major folly with this scheme of dealing with things in this manner is, not seeing the second side of the coin. It seems very human to ponder over an issue and pass a judgement on it in one go. How many times have we forgotten to give a lookback on the issue after passing our valuable comments? How many times have we missed out on seeing the second side?

I will not lie and I will agree to the fact that this post is in reaction to things happening around me. I am seeing people reacting to a particular event and satiating themselves with just one side of the story. They're entirely neglecting the very existence of a second point of view, a second frame of reference. I could associate this with the seeming imbalance among the personalities but lack of maturity is the only thing I have managed to conclude about the "PEOPLE" around, based on the way these very "PEOPLE" have reacted. Some day society will definitely grow up to that level wherein both sides of the coin are taken into account or maybe a day when people have matured enough so as not to pass a judgement at all, disregarding both the sides of the coin in a way. Some day....
