A group of blind men described the elephant based on the limited experience of feeling only a part of the animal. Each person’s definition was different from the other and it ultimately resulted into an argument.
We look at the territory from our map which is not the reality. Our map of the territory is our perception which is again based on our thoughts, values, beliefs and the social environment. We ignore the other persons subjective experience which is based on their map of the territory.
As in the folktale so in our situations, we are not wrong but the same is also not the reality.
It is equally important to understand and consider the other’s perspective of the same situation or the event.
Develop the habit of asking the self- is this really true or just my map of the territory,
This will help us to understand the situation or the person and find solutions.
