Look At The Bigger Picture

Be careful with tunnel vision-events cannot be seen as isolated snapshots-they are normally parts of a bigger scenario. And the sum is mostly larger than the whole. "Dividing an elephant in half does not produce two small  elephants." It refers to the importance of being able to connect interrelated parts and view matters as a system. We normally react quiet spontaneously without taking time to find out what exactly the issue is. Once we are able to see the bigger picture. We may not be so emotional as we can then get our priorities right.
