What is my perspective?

Can I trust it? What is the truth?

I was sitting on the beach at the Michigan lakeshore, and noticed a factory farther down the beach. Out of the factory’s smoke stack was a large amount of smoke spewing forth. Today was a super cloudy day so the clouds were stacked down around the top of this smoke stack. From my perspective, it looked like these clouds were being made from the factory smoke. My brain wanted to put the story together in this way. However, I know better than to just believe my eyes. The truth of the matter is that the clouds were not made by the smoke stack. It was so funny how my mind quickly put together a story though I didn’t have all the facts. Humbling reminder for me apply this into my life - don’t jump to conclusions when I don’t have all the facts. Slow down, listen, gather the facts, then decide.
