::::::::

    On weekends I often poke around baseball fields looking for baseballs

or softballs. Today I found a few softballs at this particular field. After a few minutes I decided to go into the opposite direction to see if I had missed any

balls. Sure enough I found another softball which I would have never seen from the other direction. A leaf was positioned in such a way that I couldn't possibly

have seen the ball going from the original direction.

     There is a lesson here. Often on Op-ED people's opinions will clash because

they are so sure of the "rightness" of their opinion. If we could take the time and try to see something from another person's perspective we may understand their beliefs better. Or in other words put the shoe on the other

foot. The key to understanding is to look at an issue from all vantage points.

My lesson for today
