The Tree of Tales (Story IV): Back in the Subway A man with a violin walked into the subway station in Washington in the United States and began playing some beautiful and intricate pieces of music. He played six pieces of Bach, a legendary composer, and musician, for a span of 45 minutes. Since it was a rush hour, over a thousand people went through the station. As the man began playing, people took notice but kept on walking towards their destinations. After three odd minutes, an old gentleman slowed down to listen to the man playing violin. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar. A few minutes later, a young man stopped to listen to him, then looked at his watch and hurried away. After ten minutes, a young 3-year-old boy wanted to stop and hear the man play. But, his mother kept pulling him forward. The boy struggled and tried hard to stand and watch but his mother was having none of it. Many other children wanted to stop and listen but, their mothers kept pulling them forward. People occasionally stopped and threw a dollar for the man but eventually 84
continued on their way. Not a single person had stopped to listen to the man play for forty five minutes. At the end of those 45 minutes, the man stopped, packed up his $3.5 million violin and left. This man was Joshua Bell, a musical genius and one of the topmost musicians of all times. His show two days prior to this subway incident had been houseful where people had come from far, and paid over $100 per ticket to hear Joshua play the same tunes he played on the subway. However, when the same man played on the subway, for free, no one seemed to notice or care. As humans, we are subconsciously trained to not find beauty in common-place environments at unexpected hours. We rush through life never experiencing or appreciating beauty when we should. Our perception of beauty, our tastes and our priorities are all mixed up based on what society thinks is important. Do not follow society. Rather, close your eyes and take a moment to appreciate the beauty called life. 85
Perceptions & Impressions Here we select only common mistakes we make when we meet others. Let’s try to understand them and aim to avoid them. SELECTIVE PERCEPTION Here we select certain parts of a person and pass judgement on how they are. We select these “parts” based on their interests, backgrounds, experiences and attitudes. HALO EFFECT This is when we try and assume we know everything about the person and base our judgement on one single characteristic of that person. CONTRAST EFFECT Here, we create an impression about a person by comparing them to other people we have met recently. PROJECTION It's we try and see our own characteristics in the other person. STEREOT YPING When we judge someone based on their group, culture, religion and ethnicity we stereotype them. PREJUDICE When we strongly dislike someone just because they might belong to a particular group and we have stereotyped them to be just like the group. The BEST WAY to eradicate our perceptions and impressions is by understanding that we are a wonderfully diverse group of people who 86
follow different religions, cultures, and traditions. We make different choices in/for our food, on our clothing and on our likes and dislikes. We follow different customs and celebrate various festivals. We speak different languages. That does not make a person better or worse than the other. Express Yourself A boy from Rajasthan attends your school, both his ears are pierced.You find it cool. You and your friends encourage your classmate with polio to be a part of the Annual Day Dance Performance. Your neighbour passes comments on a family that has moved from another state and follows a non-vegetarian diet. A poor relative visits your home and you avoid speaking to them. You see people making fun of foreigners visiting your city because of the colour of their skin and physical features. 87
