Point of View
Misunderstandings are often caused by different points of view.

Sometimes we wonder why others can't see things from our point of view. This is hard to achieve because of certain factors like environment, family background, financial status, friends, and others.
The way a man whose family is rich thinks and acts will be different from the way a man from a poor background thinks and acts. A rich man sees money as a tool while the poor see it as a primary focus, it is something they need to survive, so the way they handle it will be much different...
We should learn not to judge others for some of their actions, because it is easy for you doesn't mean others find it easy, that thing which is valueless to you may be so valuable to another.
Once upon a time, two guys worked together in a company, one of them was the son of a rich man, while the other guy came from a poor background.
Let us call the rich guy Alex and the poor guy Rayhan... The company pays them the same amount. Alex does not spend his salary because his father gives him pocket money weekly, which is more than his salary, so he just saves his salary, but it was not the same for Ray... He ran out of money 15 days before the next pay, so he doesn't have any savings.

Alex would advise Ray to spend wisely and should learn to save money, and Ray would always tell him he had no choice because he has a lot of responsibilities, the responsibilities is something Alex never understand because he has none, his parent takes care of his bills so his point of view was that Ray spends recklessly and this is why he can't save up.
Ray hails from a family of six; his mother is a full-time housewife, and his father is a retired civil servant. His three siblings are still in school, which made him the breadwinner of the family. Every penny he earns is used to cater for the needs of the family, whenever he try to save up, something will come up, it is either the father swallow pin or the siblings needs something in their school and being someone who loved his family, he can't say no to their demands as long as he have it, this is why his salary barely last till half of the month before it got exhausted.
There are others like Alex in the company who see him as a reckless spender, but unfortunately, he can't tell everyone his story; he just has to live with how they see him...
Some people have silent battles they are fighting, but we won't know because they don't look like their problem, nor do they post about it. We should learn not to judge others so fast by their actions because we do not know their story.

Perspective always matters, I think outcomes rarely tell the full story. It's not that uncommon for me to hear or know of people who are from a rich family but are living in poverty. The perception is that if the family is rich, then this person shouldn't be poor but oh well, life isn't that clear cut or straightforward.
Those people who are from a rich family but live in poverty also have their story, but we will never understand unless they tell us....
Hmm that’s true
Many times, we do not understand the battles that some people are fighting
So it’s better to ask or do not judge them
yup.
