When I was in the 1st year of engineering, we had a paper called Engineering Drawing. (I guess they still have it in the curriculum).
That paper would give me nightmares, it was hard for me to imagine things from different angles.
You see, I wasn’t that creative!
I remember in the 1st lecture, our teacher showed us an image and asked, ‘What do you see?’
‘A rectangle!’, the class shouted.
With a different image in hand he asked again, ‘What do you see now?’
Some said it’s Sofa, while for a few the image made no sense!
He finally showed us the image of a machined block and all the previous images were different views or angles of the same object.
‘It’s neither rectangle nor sofa, they are just different views of the same object.’ and he started explaining it with the E.D Terminology.

If you ask me what habit of mine I want to get rid of, it would be ‘Sticking to a view or an opinion.’
Opinions are hard-wired like a ‘top view’ or a ‘side/front view’ maybe!
We believe what we see, but the reality is much much more than what our eyes see, and our senses perceive.
It’s always the sum total of all that has happened.
Effects are easy for anyone to see, but looking closely it’s harder to pinpoint at one cause, ‘Look, see?’ kind of way.
But we still do it!
And then sticking to it, we fight, argue, turn baneful, oppose, and shout.
‘Opinion’: The day I will stop sticking to it will be the day I lose the anger, pride, ego, and everything that holds me back from real ‘ME’.
P.S: Here is something I learned today, ‘Baneful’ which means ‘Harmful’ or ‘Hurtful’.
