The big picture.

People say that to see the truth, we have to see the bigger picture. What they missed out to mention, is how BIG is the big picture?

In our daily life, we encounter many situation where we are faced with many choices. In order to make the right decision we need to see the big picture. The big picture here is define as the "entire perspective on a situation or issue" (Merriam-Webster). Now, we often heard that knowing is half the battle, but how much knowing is considered as knowing? Is it enough just to know the basics? Or we have to dive in deeper, to grasp the situation at hand?

"Do we have to dive in deeper to understand better?"

The answer to that question is a big YES. Yes, in order to make a decision, ANY decision, we have to fully grasp the big picture. Because only then we can analyse the situation and took action. Some may say "aw we don't have to do a research on which toothpaste to buy! It's a no brainer! ".Then I would reply, 

"You can walk in a dark maze with your eyes closed. But how can you be sure you are on the correct path?"  

It is not just about making A decision, it is about making a GOOD decision. A decision that will utilise all your resources and a decision that you will not soon regret.


Now,

Is your knowledge on an issue are sufficient enough to be considered as the big picture? It may be big for you, but ever so often, it really is only-

-a fraction of reality.
