Perspective is Everything
The man doesn't know that there is a snake underneath.
The woman doesn't know that there is a stone crushing the man.
The woman thinks: "I am going to fall and I can't climb because the snake is going to bite me. Why can't he just pull me up?".
The man thinks: "I am in pain, yet I'm pulling as hard as I can. Why can't she climb a little harder?"
The moral is: You can't see the pressure the other person is under and the other person can't see the pain that you're in.
No matter whether it is work, family, feelings or friends we should try to understand one another. Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better. A little thought, patience, and empathy goes a long way.
