Why Two People Can Have Two Different Opinions and still be right

Howdy folks 🤠 how are you today?

I slept late last night coz I was trying to solve a coding problem, at one point I decided to just call it a night and continue the next day. I woke up late in the morning (not surprising) and there was no electricity. I was expecting it to come before 9am, but it never did 💔 I wanted to finish the project I was working on but my laptop only works with light.

That's the dilemma I am passing through every day with the laptop I am using, it was given to me by my friend and I just have to manage it for now until I am able to buy mine. What has been delaying my plans? Well, it's BCH, I am just hoping the price will increase to $500+ within the next few months 😁

Different perspectives

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth - Marcus Aurelius

I've always seen it as a good thing when someone has different perspectives and opinions than you. This can be good in life and business. But what happens when you disagree with someone on an issue but they are right? For example two people with the same viewpoint but different perceptions or interpretations of something. So what happens when one person sees something one way, while the other sees it differently.

You and I may disagree on the same issue, but we can still both be right. How is that possible? Because one of us might not know everything, and the other one might not have all the evidence or details that could make their point even stronger. It's important to remember that just because someone has a different opinion from you doesn't mean they're wrong or stupid.

Let's say your friend wants to see a war movie tonight, but you think it would be best if they went to see a movie about dancing bears instead. Your friend thinks it will be boring because there won't be any action scenes in this movie, but you know that there are plenty of action scenes in dancing bears!

You could go into detail about how they're similar and how they differ, but you wouldn't need to because your friend has already made up their mind, they're going to see a war movie. And maybe they're right! Maybe a war movie is better than dancing bears but maybe not! And if it isn't better than dancing bears then at least they will have had fun watching it.

So, in essence, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who see things the way you do and those who see them another way. But both can be right. You see it this way because you have a strong opinion; they see it another way because they have a strong opinion. But both of you can be right!

This is because our opinions are based on different perspectives, which means that they're not always the same as each other. One person might look at something from afar, while another looks at it up close. One person may focus on one aspect of something, while another focuses on another aspect. And so on and so forth.

It's a fact of life. No matter how differently we see the world, we all have a perspective that is valid for our own lives and experiences. You might believe that Christmas is about giving gifts and spending time with family, while I think it's about getting together with friends and being merry! We're both right.

We have different contexts for our lives, and that's okay. It doesn't mean we can't agree on something or understand each other better, it just means we each have an opinion based on our unique experiences and perspectives.

Sometimes people don't get along because they don't understand each other's perspectives (and sometimes they do), but that doesn't mean they're wrong or bad people. The key is to keep an open mind and try to understand where others are coming from before you make assumptions about them based on how they act or what they say.

The point is that we all have different viewpoints, and that's what makes us human! We all have our own way of seeing things, and when we get together with someone who has a different view than ours, it's actually really cool! You can learn from them and vice versa, you don't ever have to agree with anyone else's point of view 100%
