Several Stories

It's dangerous knowing only one story.
It's very injurious to hold onto only one story.

But it's likely the many people we meet every day; have different stories besides what we know.
It's a fact that those we interact with have many silent stories.
Although I don't know how many people you saw today or how many of them you spoke to, I do know that there are more stories we are yet to discover.

I mean, of the many faces you met yesterday;
Of the many voices you heard or listened to today;
Of the various individuals we would see tomorrow;
It's possible they have many unique tales and details yet to be told.

However, it's unfortunate we sometimes assess others based on the one-sided story we know.
Oftentimes, we are guilty of judging others based on one perspective of an individual's character.
The danger of a single perspective or story is seriously damaging our hopes and prospects.

In as much as we may not know all versions and verses of various stories of people,
We are obliged to appreciate the other perspectives and stories which is not captured by most single stories.

For there indeed many sides and angles to a situation or a people.
Therefore, let your perceptions, attitudes, and actions in these moments be that of a learner willing to listen and interrogate and appreciate the other stories in order to enhance our development.
