Today I am in a mood to talk about philosophy of dealing with one of the situations we generally face around us...
We often get into situations where we are in problem of difference of opinions... sometimes it is with our friends and sometimes it is with our family members and sometimes with our colleagues
What are the different options we have when we are in such situations
First and the often one which many of us do is just tend to state our opinion and get out or stay away from the situation or discussion...of course i just can't do it somehow...
Second option we have is to agree to the other's opinion and try to convince yourself without even trying to make your point and convince the other person / group.
Third way we might react is by getting frustrated and end up either hurting ourselves and also people around us...
The last way and best way which I think is try to do as below...
In the first place the difference of opinion has come because we don't try take a minute to understand the other person's opinion and so we have a biased thinking of only our thoughts.. So take a pause of the screenplay going in your head and try to get into the shoes of the opposite person and try to understand the intention and points which are leading to their opinion. Even then if you think there is something wrong in their opinion then give at least one try to take them thru the same exercise as above and then they might agree to your opinion... :)
But unfortunately as we all persons have different beliefs and behaviors, there might be situations where we end up with no resolution (in such case this blog might have a solution :) ) but at least we have that satisfaction that we at least gave a try to understand their point of view and try to make our point...
Signing off for today...
Happy Weekend :)
