So, how did we know that we are colorful? Let's see from this section: "Personalities" although there are so many personalities theories. The most common we can see is the theory from Galen from Roman Empire from 2 AD. The theory itself see that human personalities are like fluid in our body. Galen divide Personalities into 4 main types, they are:
- Sanguine
- Choleric
- Phlegmatic
- Melancholic
OK, let's not talk about the Personalities too deep. I will take you all into different position from this one. All we need to know is that we all have this 4 personalities! The difference is which one that dominant. But, hold on a sec! Well the biggest thing that make us colorful is that we do change our dominant part when we actually want it!
Yes, we can do that. It is difficult, but it is possible. So why it is make us colorful? Imagine, when in daily activities we were known as a Choleric-type personality, then just sometime we switch into Phlegmatic-type it will shock our friends. LoL :D
No, I'm not saying this as a prank (even actually it can be a prank) but to say that when we switch our personalities, actually we little by little can see another point of view of other people with this personalities.
Yes, to see from other perspective are important for our live. Imagine, while we give a joke to other friends, sometimes they will not say that what we said were jokes. Yes, because from their Perspective it's not a joke, moreover, it may can offend other people. It can make a serious threat for our relationship.
Education is another part of Perspective. For an example, a psychologist would say different from an electronic engineer about lazy worker. A psychologist may say that a lazy worker not actually lazy, but because there are many factor, such as his wages, his family motivation etc. But an electronic engineer may say that the lazy worker are not good enough to help him and prefer to make a robot that may help him to do his work.
But it is totally different concept when we said if higher people education, people may have better perspectives to see a problem. Well, even the smartest man in this world maybe only have little perspective about other people. Yes! it's not a guarantee that higher education may change people Perspective.
Social and Culture, is another story. Where we were came from, that's were our value comes from. Yes, our social and cultural value can make our perspective different from another. For instances, an Afro-American and Native-American may say different about freedom. For Afro-American people, freedom maybe is when they were equal with White People. For Native-American People, freedom maybe is when they were not colonized and having terror from White People. This is from centuries ago, and their value may change by now.
Experience is one big part for gaining other perspectives. We experience when we learn from our mistakes that's true. When we learn this, we should have find other perspective to see a problems. Our mistakes may have give something that shaking our life, but we can't see only the damage that our mistakes made. Moreover we need to see what experience that our mistake give!
Beside experience, communication is other great point for gaining perspective. We can also learn about perspective by talking to other people, especially to share their perspective about a problem. The funny thing is that in one side communication affect perspective, but in the other side, perspective affect communication. Yes, that this is are two point connection with double edge point.
There a lot of ways to learn about perspective. But the major ways was what i wrote down in this blog.
So, why we need another perspective? Well, we don't need it to live.. But we do need it if we WANT to make our life more interesting. We can say out perspectives, we can keep our perspective and then argue about a problem because we don't want to see from other perspective OR we can cope the problem by see from other problem and unite our points of view to solve the problem.
To have a good relationship we need a lot of training and do many mistakes and learn from these mistakes.
For the closing point, I can say that "everyone have good side and bad side, we can choose which one we would be just by change our perspective"
Happy Experiencing Life people :) God help us
