Parable of the Elephant - The importance of context

Elephant experience from different people:

  • A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear. WIKI LINK

There were a lot of things that were learned about the word “wrong.” From being overused, using it subjectively, and objectively. Where is that line drawn on when it should be used? Are there words that would fit your statement better rather than defaulting to the word “wrong.” It is an easy route, but may not be the most effective word to get your message across.

This is all for self-help, if you are looking to make improvements and see things from different perspectives. Kaizen is a Japanese form of self-help in which you do so through small increments.
