Our Perspective

"Buddha said that the cause of stress and pain is that we don't have the proper perspective. Somehow we see things in an upside-down way.
What is the wrong perspective? My one perspective! We don't think of it as only one perspective.

How does this translate into our daily lives? Don't we often see others as wrong because they don't share our perspective? This causes constant clashes in relationships. The ego gets involved and we can't find our way out.

We become blind to everything but our own view. We can't see it's just one view. Why get so tied up with the?"
