'PERSPECTIVE'



Story : 

A tall, scrawny juvenile teen with messy jet black hair and pallid face, embarks his journey to morning tutorials carrying his exhausting bag. He takes a glance at his watch and it's quarter past 6, he then looks up to the sky which is still dark blue waiting for the sun to show up. He surmises the sun as a work-shy guy and takes pride in starting his day before him. As he moves, he's hit by the cold breeze freezing to his bone but that didn't cease his journey.The road is filled with dried pale yellow leaves as the trees started shedding them, indicating the onset of Autumn. He looks at the leaves on the road, then the deciduous trees alongside and ridicules trees as feeble babies shedding tears as they shed their leaves. He says to himself in a supercilious voice that he is superior to trees as he could endure the harsh weather changes. As he hastens further, trampling the dried leaves making a rustling sound, the vicinal birds start fluttering away. He scoffs at them as he patronizes the birds to be cowardly namby-pamby beings. He ranks himself above them as he regards himself to be lionhearted who doesn't run away from adversities.

Explanation :

In the above story the juvenile teen is an egotist and judgemental with preconceived notions and fallacious information.
He surmised the sun as a work-shy guy as the sun didn't show up yet. But if we see it the other way, it was the autumn (transition from summer to winter) which leads to longer nights and shorter days, so the sun rises late.
He mocked at trees as feeble babies as they couldn't withstand the cold and shed their leaves but it was the tree's strategy to conserve water and energy in autumn which makes them foresighted and provident.
He belittled the birds to be coward as they flew away but it's the bird's way of fighting the adversities with their puissant weapon of feathers.

Conclusion :

The above story was in the perspective of the juvenile teen but if we make an attempt to contemplate the story in the perspective of the sun,tree and bird ,it turns out to be other way around. So never jump into a conclusion with just your perspective rather try to look at other's perspective too.
