Point of view
The biggest problem in this world is a point of view. Everybody tends to see the world from their own point of view. They knowingly or unknowingly try to fit everyone in their own world. Here is an example of what happens when an editor is highly covered by their own point of view

A saint was traveling on the way. A little boy looked at him innocently. Saint stopped and the boy hesitantly asked a question, "Where are you going?" Saint smiled and answered, "I am searching for a living being." The boy becomes wired and said confidently, "But you can see so many living people in the community." Saint smiled, took the boy in his arm, and said, "All of them are not living. They are living on a fixed point of view. Living being keeps on changing their views. I am looking for the people living in the real sense like you."
Editor comments:
This piece is reminiscent of a Buddhist teaching story I’ve heard. However, I think it needs a bit more depth. Why, for instance, does “Saint” think that the boy is truly living? Nothing the reader sees marks the boy as special. And what does it mean for the Saint that he has now found what he’s looking for — someone truly alive, like the boy? What was he going to do once he found what he was looking for?
Writer replies:
Thank you, editor, for comments. I realize that I put a cover (That reader are expected to uncover) was harder or thicker than your expectations.
Here the editor is expecting more depth whereas he/she was unable to uncover a simple depth. He/she quickly prepared own story from own point of view and made comments on own story. It did not reach to readers. Is not it the biggest problem?
