“Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people.”
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
When people hold on tightly to their own opinions and views without being open to others' perspectives, they often end up causing disagreements and upsetting others. Imagine someone in a team at work who always insists their way is the best and never listens to anyone else. This can lead to arguments and a bad atmosphere because they are not flexible or understanding. In history, many conflicts have started because groups or nations couldn't see eye to eye and refused to consider different viewpoints. If we learn to listen more and be open to other ideas, we can get along better with others and avoid many problems. By being more accepting and less stubborn about our own beliefs, we make it easier to build good relationships and live peacefully with others. This advice can help in daily life, whether in personal relationships, at work, or within the community.
