Found this on TED.
Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.
My Point of View: We don’t need to understand every culture in the world to get by, but we must let go of the belief that our story is the only one that matters – or the only way to see the world. This mindset extends beyond cultures; it applies to our personal lives as well. Recognizing that we do not exist in isolation is precisely why we should approach others’ stories and perspectives with openness and tolerance. When we do, we create a world that is not only more understanding but also richer and more meaningful.
