A Parable About a White Sheet
of Paper and a Dot
One day, a master gathered his
students and showed them an
ordinary sheet of paper on which
he had drawn a small black dot.
He asked them, "What do you
see?" They all answered in
unison that they saw a black
dot. That answer was incorrect.
The wise man said, "But do you
not see the white sheet of
paper? It is so vast – far
larger than that black dot!"

It
is the same in life: the first
thing we notice in people is
something negative, even though
there is far more good. Yet,
only a rare few immediately see
the "white sheet of paper."
