CNN talked about
virtual autopsy of King Tutankhaman, how the historians had assumed that the
100 walking sticks found in his tomb represented his power while actually they
were used by King Tut to move around as he had a severely defected left foot.
This revelation made
me think of how we assume so much in life based on our experiences .We build
theories on our half-baked information. Then we float these theories around to others,
convincing them of our correctness. We do this every day. We analyse situations
based on our experiences, never bothering to confirm whether we are correct. We
analyse people too with same confidence not realizing that they are not mummy like
King Tut who cannot be bothered by your interpretations. People get hurt and
sometimes beyond repair.
So let us all try to
be more sensitive to feelings of others. Also let us not assume we know all.
Give a benefit of doubt to all.
As they say “All is not as it
meets the eye.”
