“I have learned many valuable truths through my experiences. One of these truths is that people don't always see the bigger picture; they are bound to their own paradigms of the truth. Perspective is a difficult issue in life; when we don't have all the facts, we often form conclusions that aren't true. This is something that we all need to work on by patiently gathering facts before we come to hasty conclusions. We don't always see things as clearly as we think.”
