No picture is the whole picture

They say the camera never lies. But of course it does.

Someone shows you photos of happy people laughing. They say this is proof that people are doing well.

Someone else shows you photos of people looking sad. They say this is proof that people are miserable.

Ironically, all the photos were taken at the same place and the same time. But one camera focused on the happiness, while the other focused on the misery.

Both claim that their photos show the truth. But it’s just one perspective.

People find facts to support their argument on any debatable topic or view of the world. Facts can be true, while the perspective is not.

No picture is the whole picture. It’s just one of many possible angles.
