Listen to this story about how our views of the world are limited, and how important it is to listen to others' views in order to get a complete picture!

I learnt that my point of view may be vastly different to what others might think, yet we are all right to a certain extent. It's important to put value on what you think but also what others think, as everyone views things as to how they see something, in their own state of mind, and where they are in space and time.

I learned to listen to other people
To judge Fairly and not think I know everything . I didn't get to listen that much because I wanted to hear it again so I rewined but it thought I was done ..

Obi-Wan: Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

This is quite an old story; I have heard it many times over the years. I think it’s an excellent learning tool for young and old alike. It’s a simple, straightforward message that really can be only misunderstood by the arrogant. 🙏

This story reminds us that our experiences in life are influenced more by our interpretations than by the events. You can learn a lot noticing how others see things differently.

I felt like the story had a good message behind it really. However I couldn't think of scenarios in my personal life where this could have happened. It did give me relief however to not have my mind racing for 3 minutes..

Points of view
I learnt that throughout our whole lives we may view things and think we have a correct idea of it, but in reality others may have different ideas of it. All though we are right, we haven’t seen the whole side to it

Rememebr that there are many sides to the truth. Try as hard as you can to be open and try to learn the entire story.

There are many ways to see the same thing
We all observe and notice our world in many different ways and think that our view, how we see things are right. But if we keep our minds open and consider others views too we may actually get a better understanding overall and be less judgmental.

I learned other people's experience of the world is as true as your own experience. At the same time I though about religion and how it uniquely shape our world views.
