Shit Happens: a phrase as old as I am.... using humor to understand the truth. The following table about religious truths is a a humorous poke at the religions of the world. However, even though it is humor, it has deeper meanings and leads to deeper understanding.

Or to put it another way:

  • To the optimist a glass is half full.
  • To the pessimist a glass is half empty.
  • To the realist it is half a glass of water.
  • To an economist you need a smaller glass.
  • To a scientist you need more water.
  • To an engineer the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
  • To a chemist it is merely Crystallized Silica and with H20.

Conclusion

Know what you are; and try to understand the others point of views.

We must strive to understand others perceptions and expressions, if only to help us understand better our own perceptions. If we can understand others views, we may find common ground making each others views much more tolerable.
