Interpretation game!!!

            
                 I often encounter people, who do right interpretation, wrong interpretation, slight wrongly interpreted, somewhat correctly interpreting etc.  I certainly wonder, why these much variations in this human interpretation process?  Doesn’t a single thing existing in this world deliver single meaning for everyone?  Isn’t it a case in which, it doesn’t matter whether I feel or others feel we come up with same understanding?   It may or may not. It doesn’t matter whether we interpret right or wrong. It lies in whether we interpret what we are supposed to interpret.   Take a look at the following incident.
          
           "My friend and I were viewing the projects displayed by our peers at Science-Expo'15 that was conducted by our college. When we entered architecture department, we encountered many beautiful art works. Especially the ones drawn by a girl called YYYY. Her paintings on the canvas looked excellent.
          There is this one canvas that drawn my attention. In that, a girl wearing red dress is standing on the sea shore, wind blowing her hair away. Her face turned opposite to the sea.

On seeing that, I asked that YYYY, ‘What does the picture describes?’

She said, ‘There is no concept hidden in it. I just drew it when I was 16.’
        
I thought for a while and called my friend who was then viewing another architectural model.

“Dude, can you figure out what this picture is trying convey?”

YYYY looked at me in expectation and my friend starred at me as if I asked him a complex IAS question.

‘Ok let me say. View of a sea shore is meant to be felt in person and is supposed to interpret it based on their own perspectives. This girl standing in the Canvas is looking opposite to the sea view, standing on the shore. It means that, she is looking back at her life and sensing that, her life is more beautiful than the sea view.’

YYYY looked at me in amazement. My friend smiled at me and we both congratulated YYYY for her wonderful work."

           
       Viewing the world around us as it is may not make things beautiful. If we start interpreting those things close to our life hood in a way that makes us happier, then the world will definitely seems meaningful. Like I interpreted my life’s beauty in YYYY’s art even though she doesn’t meant anything or like my interpretation about my ‘Interpretation theory’ in this post while something of that sort hadn’t happened.
