One Thing You Should Always Remember About Life

About this video

Prince Ea uses the metaphor of being too close to a painting to explain how perspective shapes our understanding of life situations. He suggests that stepping back from our immediate circumstances allows us to see the complete picture. He then poses a provocative scenario about someone dumping garbage in a viewer’s home to set up a larger point about how we treat our environment.
