There are Many Dimensions to Every Person - Anvesha Rana

When we meet a man or a woman
Or it might be a child,
We jump to see what we can
And assume their lives in a way very mild

We don’t think before we speak
For answers that are bleak.
We draw vague conclusions 
And later create fine lines.

We bombard the space
Without knocking on the door.
And then create a false world
Of our own.

We have to be quick and smart.
But where does the subtle man go?
Does he hide in forever, 
Or wait for us to leave?

Well it is not the man held wrong
But our fault till long.
For it was we who did not see his inner beauty,
And decided to name him ugly.

We did not get it then, 
But maybe we do now.
There are multiple dimensions to every person,
Just wait and read 'how'.

There are different dimensions - to a physicist, it simply means direction or, to be very precise, a pair of opposite directions at right angles to another dimension, as stated in Phys.org reports. 

Likewise, cultural dimensions summarize the extent to which cultural groups are found empirically to differ in terms of psychological attributes such as values, beliefs, self-construals, personality, and behaviour. 

The cultural dimensions are constructed to track value shifts across generations when society goes through modernization and post-modernization - as a result of interaction between cultures, political entities and economies. If we talk about dimension for a person, it means - he has to reach his goal. 

Everyone has a dream. And we need to work hard and achieve many things to make those dreams real. 

And thus, we have to face many difficulties to get our dimensions right.
