Perspective



Most of us have heard about these fables in our childhood and Each of them have something to teach us.
every story has more than what we were told . This is what I realized just recently.
Lets consider "The Lion and the mouse".
The lesson that we learnt was 'Even the weak and small may be of help to those much mightier than themselves.'
Second point of view would be :'Never be afraid to explain or reason or confront those much mightier than themselves'.

Likewise lets consider our next candidate;'The boy who cried wolf'
The lesson that we learnt was 'There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth. So donot lie '.
True to the core but there is second side which can be considered. 'Offer help if asked for; you may not know this time it might be for real'.

I am very sure there are tons of stories out there which can offer more than what has been obtained from them.
There is always more than what meets the eye in real life situations too.
We as an individual choose the perspective to look at it.
