The other side

To think like a free man, keep aware of your point of view. Reckon other points of view. Most people are chained to only one, their own. This reminds me of a story:

Hoça was sitting by the river, enjoying a pot of halwa, when a horde of mounted archers thundered onto the other bank in a cloud of dust. One of Timur's captains, who led the pack shouted,

"Ho! Stranger! How do we get to the other side?"

To this Nasreddin hollered back promptly,

"You don't need to: you are already on the other side!"

As he hastened away, beyond arrow’s shooting distance he added,

"Besides, I'm no stranger, I live here!"
