If you could really see that tree over there, " Merlin said, "you would be so astounded that you'd fall over."" Really? But why?" asked Arthur. "It's just a tree."" No, " Merlin said, "It's just a tree in your mind. To another mind it is an expression of infinite spirit and beauty. In God's mind it is a dear child, sweeter than anything you can imagine. Deepak Chopra
About This Quote

Not everyone can see the same things as another person. Some people see a tree and feel awe and wonder, but others see a tree and think it is just a tree, or they may even begin to feel dislike for it. The greatness of the tree depends on the individual, as is the greatness of many other things. The same goes with people.

Some people may not like someone else because of their appearance, others might dislike them because of their behavior. No one can say what is right or wrong. It all depends on the individual and how they choose to look at things.
