In Africa, there was a story that is actually true. Four people got lost in the vastness of Africa with their jeep. Suddenly, a plane came, and they tried everything to be noticed by the plane. Unfortunately, there was no radio connection to communicate with. Subsequently, one of the pilots crafted a small parachute and dropped them a map. The lost people were delighted when they received the map. When they opened the map, they looked rather foolish. The map was perfect and very accurate, but the people didn’t know where their standpoint was on the map.

A map is completely useless if you don’t know your standpoint and don’t know where you are. The prerequisite for being able to go anywhere is knowing where your standpoint is. Only then can you formulate or have visions of where you want to go.

Example of a Standpoint

A standpoint would be, for example, that I constantly argue at home and I always have to be right. I always feel patronized, unseen, unimportant, etc. It’s important to recognize such a standpoint to make it clear to yourself where you want to go. I want to open my heart, even if someone hurts me, I don’t always want to have to be right, etc. The point is, you can only determine something when you actually know where you stand.
