There are many of us who make up
their mind and make decisions based on very cursory information without going
into detail analysis and acquiring proper knowledge, thus make short term gain
at the cost of long term benefit. And this is the reason why people don’t take environmental
issues seriously.
Following story let us understand how
people make wrong interpretation based on cursory knowledge:
One old man was sitting with his 25
years old son in the train.
Train is about to leave the station.
All passengers are settling down
their seat.
As train started young man was filled
with lot of joy and curiosity.
He was sitting on the window side.
He went out one hand and feeling the
passing air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind".
Old man smile and admired son
feelings.
Beside the young man one couple was
sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son.
They were little awkward with the
attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child.
Suddenly young man again shouted,
"Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with train".
Couple was watching the young man in
embarrassingly.
Now its start raining and some of
water drops touches the young man's hand.
He filled with joy and he closed the
eyes.
He shouted again," Papa it's
raining, water is touching me, see papa".
Couple couldn't help themselves and
ask the old man.
"Why don't you visit the Doctor
and get treatment for your son."
Old man said,
“Yes, we are coming from the hospital
as Today only my son got his eye sight for first time in his life".
Moral: "Don't draw conclusions
until you know all the facts".
