Both sides now…

I first came across this picture in one of the TESL (Teaching of English as a Second Language) methodology books. It has been included as a possible teaching aid that may be used to generate discussion and thus, encourage the use of language. If you look at it from one angle, you may see a young lady but if you look at it from another angle, you see an old woman instead…

A line from the Ray Stevens’ song “Everything is beautiful” goes like this” “There is none so blind as he who will not see.” I guess you will agree that so very often, we see things the way we want to see them – blinded by our convictions, our prejudices and what not, so much so that we fail to see them from other possible points of view.

There are two sides to a coin, so we should not look at it on one side only but should look at the other side as well. Therefore, in looking at things, we may have to look from both sides now or from different angles and at other times, perhaps, we may even need to step back a little and view the thing once again for what we perceive originally may appear quite different when viewed from a distance…

Having said that, perhaps you would like to tell me who you can see in the picture below…

Have a Blessed Sunday, everybody.
