What Do You See?

Look at the picture below and tell me what do you see.

So what do you see?

A black dot. Is that your answer?

It's the usual answer I will get from most people. Wouldn't "a white sheet with a tiny black dot" sound like a better answer?

So what's my point exactly?

Isn't this how people usually see things? People always tend to focus on the bad things. A person can be nice for all his life, but a single mistake he did would remain to be the most-talked about topic in everyone's conversation. We focused too much on the black dot that we failed to see the bigger region of the white sheet.

I usually hear things like "I can't believe a nice person like him did that." But it's all a talk in the back, and no one even care to advise the person about his wrongdoing. Yes, he is a nice person. A nice person is a nice person all right, but in the end he's also just a human being who needs to be reminded and advised all the same. Our actions of dissing that person behind his back brings nothing back in return - he remains in his ignorance over his fault, and those dissing him would be nothing but a bunch of gossipers who are looking for more sins to add to their credit.

So, can we all agree that a nice person - no matter how nice he is - is in fact, human. If he did something wrong, do not be so quick to say he is bad. We all need an advice once in a while in our lives. Let us try to focus on how to expand the area of the white sheet than to work on embedding that black dot forever on that pure background.
