Tonight I came across a Live Journal entry that was cool in and of itself, but it linked to a movie that was even cooler. I share both with you here!

Today while surfing the net, I came across a movie that moved me. It was a brilliant example how much can we be wrong even when we are absolutely sure that our opinion is perfect. Watch it at:

I saw the shrunk version of it. I have yet to see the full version but the insight was great.
We live in our own worlds, the world which makes us look good and the other person look bad or rather worse. We see the world and events through kind of filters of our mind, filters that are reflection of our presuppositions, past and preconceived notions. All those things come up in our mind just like a background voice which rarely love to shut down. Everyone of us i think must have noticed this (voice from back of the mind). So in a way some event happens and what we understand what happened might be two entirely different things depending upon how much our head intervened. I believe if we stop making the voice heard and get the matters cleared the approach would be kind of perfect.
PS – I acknowledge the role of Landmark Education for getting such insights. It was the forum that opened my mind.
