One Water Takes the Shape of Each Vessel
One and the same water appears differently according to the vessel and the eye.
If he and I quarreled over the same matter, did we truly see different things?
📝Reflection
The same water is life to the thirsty, a home to the fish, and to someone merely an obstacle blocking the road. The water is one, yet it becomes something wholly different depending on where you stand. Quarrels between people are usually like this. We fight over the same event, but each of us is holding it in a different vessel. The other is not wrong; he saw from a different place. Knowing this, eighty percent of a quarrel goes flat. Before deciding who is right, first see "with what vessel is this person holding it?" That is a grown person's eye.

When you differ with someone today, first picture "with what vessel is this person holding it?" Before deciding right and wrong, the quarrel settles.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
