POV

        POV, or Point of View, is a person's opinion or a particular way of thinking about something (this is what I read in the Cambridge Dictionary). Lately, I've been reading a lot of novels, including fanfiction, many of which use multiple POVs. This has piqued my curiosity.

        There's a quote from a book I read, "The Laws of Human Nature": "The world simply exists as it is—things or events are not good or bad, right or wrong, ugly or beautiful." That's why everyone has their own view on things; they see the world through different glasses. We've never been objective in seeing things in the first place. Humans are such subjective creatures.

"We are all self-absorbed, locked in our own worlds"

        Every person is different from each other. Your past shapes your present, and your present shapes your future. Life's struggles can affect two people differently, causing them to think and react in unique ways. Understanding that everyone has their own point of view helps me to better understand others. We tend to be self-absorbed.

        If you think you're right and others are wrong, have you ever wondered why they feel or think the way they do? If you're jealous of others' achievements, have you considered the sacrifices they made to succeed? If you feel that others are nicer to someone else than they are to you, have you considered their perspective on what you and others do? 

        That's why you should be careful when drawing conclusions related to people's feelings and intentions. You only know your own point of view, not others. Even with your own perspective, you often don't fully understand your own feelings and intentions.
