You can walk a thousand steps,
But still only take one step forward.
Your feet may push you ahead,
But the final impression depends on the effects.
Walking is a matter of perception.
For some it depends on pace,
For others, it’s about distance,
But overall, it’s a matter of deception.
Numbers are measured to give a common principle,
But their magnitude is an opinion.
Dependent on past occurrences,
A number may be conceived as minimal.
Forward is used as a direction,
But the word is relative to your location.
If you take a thousand steps forward,
You’ll also taking one thousands steps backward.
Actions. Measurements. Direction.
They’re all a matter of perception.
Sometimes taking one step backward
Will bring you a thousand steps forward.
