Trust, Beliefs and Perspectives
2 min readFeb 12, 2021
"A point has no definite meaning unless there's a reference for it", is a very commonly defined or better a postulate in arithmetic tongue. And indeed it is true!
What it has to do with the heading above? How does the word 'perspective' get aligned with the topics of trust and belief? If you get all these questions, I won't deny to accept it. But astonishingly, it is candor that relations do exist between three powerful words!
Take any relationship or any connection in true being. Be it personnel or even an inert non-living entity, we do find connections, similarities, we compare and even come up with theories. In any way, we notice something in common.
Our beliefs, our perspectives, our perceptions, and what not? At last we shape our feelings, emotions, thoughts and decisions involving others. We capture an image that gets clicked at the the very first moment you start inclining towards the point - towards the object in front of you, an amazing picture, a stranger walking towards you, an incident, an idea or anything else.
You capture what you get to see from the place you stand at. Hence, a point's exact place is not the same for every other angle or direction, similar to your first impression. When you start making beliefs, better said , you make up some expectations and even start expecting the person to fulfil them, And once you start believing on your momentary beliefs, you trust that instinct, thought, emotion, feeling, or what so ever you name it.
But once you see the stranger walking away from you, taking few steps the way they came, your then effulging trust breaks, but the beliefs still pursue and even get altered with every changing moment. But you never stop. As your beliefs change, you keep reconstructing your trust though you know that it just another tower of cards. And this cycle goes on and on!
Coming back to square one, the same point when observed from a slightly different orientation, you get an entirely new picture of the same point. A new eye, for the same object. And that's where all the magic happens!
You see a different view of the same point, as your perspective changes. As soon as that happens, the entire table gets turned. So this is the magic that binds the three impactful words together to create an experience called "Life"!
