There are many ways of looking at a situation. Through our various cultural differences and experiences, filters are created on how we see things.
Then there are different altitudes of observing. Whether it be a 30,000 feet view or a 3000 feet view. Also you have to consider the time aspect of how will it affect the short and long term.
I am always fascinated at how you can be aware of your perspectives to understand your biases. This makes it easier to understand other views and you can get a better idea of the situation from multiple areas.
Having the ability to calmly gain different perspectives is a great asset. Future situations can be handled with ease and everyone’s agenda is understood by you.
