Would you read this story?
I think this is funny story about our perception, which is
think that we are always true. But……
let’s check this story first.
Two
battleships assigned to the training squadron had been at sea on maneuvers in
heavy weather for several days. I was serving on the lead battleship and was on
watch on the bridge as night fell. The visibility was poor with patchy fog, so
the captain remained on the bridge keeping an eye on all activities.
Shortly
after dark, the lookout on the wing of the bridge reported, “light, bearing on
the starboard bow.”
“is it
steady or moving astern?” the captain called out.
Lookout
replied, “ steady, captain,” which meant we were on a dangerous collision
course with that ship.
The captain
then called to the signalmen, “signal that ship : we are on a collision course,
advise you change course 20 degrees.”
Back
came a signal. “advisable for you to change course 20 degrees.”
The captain said, “send, I’am a captain, change course 20
degrees.”
“I’m a
seaman second class,” came the reply. “you had better change 20 course 20
degrees.”
By that
time, the captain was furious. He spat out, “send, I’m a battleship. Change
course 20 degrees.”
Back
came the flashing light, “I’m a lighthouse.”
We
changed course.
Principles are like lighthouses. They are natural laws that
cannot be broken. Individuals may look at their own lives and interactions in
terms of paradigms or maps emerging out of their experience and conditioning,
these maps are not territory. They are “subjective reality” only an attempt to
describe the territory. Subjective reality is our perception.
The “objective reality” or the territory itself is
principles or natural laws. It is impossible for us to break the law. We only
can break ourselves against the law.
To sum up this story, I just want to say: keep check our
perception, is it right perception or wrong perception? Because live in wrong
perception just damage our life.
