The Blind Men and the Elephant

The story tells of five blind men who encountered an elephant on their way . Each of them had their own opinions on what the elephant resembles The first man says that the elephant was just like a wall . The second thought it felt like a pillar . The third indicates that the elephant felt like a snake . For the fourth blind man , it was like a rope . The fifth man , however , believed that the elephant resembled a sail

To answer the question of who among the five of

them is right , it would be that of them is correct . All of them were holding a certain part of the elephant only , which makes it hard for them to compare it to anything because the elephant is not made up of the same thing and size equally . Just like humans , its head , arms , ears , or legs are not of the same sizes and texture . They might have been correct in their own assumptions that a certain part of the elephant 's body resembles a wall or a snake but they can not say that the whole animal is just like what the things that they mentioned . It is wrong for them to generalize one part as a clear representation of the whole animal

Similarly , in real life , people should not generalize , especially when trying to create an impression about something or someone . It is wrong to state something definite when there is not much evidence to prove its existence . People should always keep an open mind when dealing with new things . Although they are entitled to their own opinions , they should keep in mind that everyone 's perspective is not the same . Some may agree , and some may not . The important thing is that people should remember that everything and everyone is different . Generalizing will only lead to conflicts and problems
