Lesson two: A picture paints a thousand word
This lesson have taught me a very meaningful thing. Our understanding goal was to understand how to gather meaning and thoughts from what I see and importance looking beyond just what is on the surface during reflection. We should not look at the things we see at the first impression, we should look deeper into it, understanding the situation correctly then conclude or react to it. The beggars shown in the pictures, one a young man sitting on the sidewalk with a card board that said his belongings got stolen while another one is lady carrying a baby begging for money. When given the one dollar situation, most of us chose to gave the lady the dollar not the young man. This is because we felt that the lady needed the money more desperately than the young man as she had to raised the baby and the young man is more capable of getting a job. We decided when only looking their aapearance without knowing the truth. After that our teacher told the truth, the lady was part of a syndicate while the young man cart of things really got stolen by someone. After listening, everyone was quite shock and decided to change our decisions. Sometimes we tried to help others without interpreting the problem situation well and most of the time making things worst. Through this lessons, I have gained a lot of knowledge and moral values. Never judge a book by its cover. :)
