"Cada hombre toma los límites de su propio campo de visión por los límites del mundo."

It's easy to think that our perspective is the only one that matters. This idea is all about how our personal experiences, knowledge, and viewpoints often shape our understanding of the world. We tend to believe that what we see and understand is all there is, but that’s a pretty narrow view, right? Think of it as looking through a keyhole and assuming the tiny bit you see is the entire room.

Historically, this has been relevant in so many contexts—from scientific discoveries to social change. Why was it said? People, back in the day and even now, often get stuck in their ways, not realizing there's a whole world beyond their immediate understanding.

Imagine a kid who grows up in a small town, where everyone knows everyone, and new ideas don't come around too often. Their world is that town, and they might think the whole world works how their small community does. But when they move to a bustling city for college, their perspective changes. They see diversity, different lifestyles, and new ways of thinking. Their world suddenly becomes much larger.

So, how do you apply this wisdom? First off, be curious. Question your assumptions and seek out new experiences. Travel if you can, read books from different genres, talk to people with different backgrounds. This helps expand your field of vision.

Here's a story that might resonate. A friend of mine, let's call her Jane, grew up in a family where nobody went to college. The general belief was that college was a waste of time and money—better to get a job right out of high school and start earning. Jane accepted this as a fact because that's all she knew. But in high school, she had a teacher who encouraged her to apply for scholarships and consider college. Jane was skeptical, but she did it anyway. She got a scholarship, went to college, and her world expanded. She met people from different cultures, learned about various fields of study, and discovered passions she never knew she had. Jane's field of vision grew, and she realized how limited her initial view had been.

Now, think about how this applies to you. Are there areas in your life where you're stuck in a rut because you're only seeing things from one perspective? Maybe it's your career, your relationships, or your personal goals. Challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone. Try something new. It doesn't have to be a massive change—sometimes small shifts can open up entire new worlds.

We all have blind spots. The key is recognizing that they exist and actively working to see beyond them. It's like lifting a veil or stepping into the light. Suddenly, what seemed like the entire universe is just a small part of a much bigger picture. And once you see that bigger picture, you can't unsee it. Remember, the world is vast, and there's always more to learn, more to experience. Keep expanding your field of vision, and you'll find that the world is a lot bigger—and more interesting—than you ever imagined.
