Look around and give details of what you see. Then ask a friend to do the same. Their description will not be exactly the same as yours. Why? Because you both look at the same scene, but you "focus" on different things. Loving gardening, you are attracted by the beautiful trees, so you describe them in detail. Your friend, on the other hand, likes sailing, therefore their attention is drawn towards the boats in the small harbor. A third person may first mention the warm sandy beach... and so on. Three (or more) onlookers, three or more 'accurate' descriptions of the same view. They will be roughly similar, but never identical. Although this may be a problem for the police interviewing witnesses to an accident, it is perfectly normal if you consider the multiplicity of the human nature. This consideration should definitely make you more tolerant and understanding towards the opinions of other people.
