A Change in Perspective
As we go through life we form and change our beliefs. One of my personal philosophies is “sometimes you need to take a step back and look at other perspectives.” One of the quotes that remind me of this is “Every Villain is a hero in his own mind”, it is a quote from the actor Tom Hiddleston as his character Loki in the movie the Avengers.

Next time you should take a look at both perspectives before you come up with your decision the outcome may surprise you and remember you might be the protagonist of your story but you are not the protagonist of everyone else
