a story of multiple perspective

Disclaimer: Strictly for patent engineers, others don't even try...
My job is all abt having a different perspective- Applicant's perspective, Examiner's perspective n a zillion other perspective... but everyone forgets that even i have a perspective n in my perspective im right (maybe not always but yeah most of the tym). This is an incident that happened a few days back, when i was trying to teach mom abt how to view life in different perspective.

Me and mom were watching a soap opera Bidai (mind u, i dont watch all these serials, but being a good child i was tryin to spend some quality tym with mom :P)
A little background abt this serial, as i dont expect that most of u must've seen it. This serial is abt a high class fair boy falling in love with a middle class dark complexioned girl. Only the guy's mom has a problem and since the guy's mom is not agreeing, because of that even the girl's parent's do not agree for this relationship. (crap!! if u luv her so much just runaway with her) .
Now, back to the situation.
Me: Ma have u ever imagined yourself in the boy's mother's shoes or better the girl's shoes.
Mom: No, i have never done that.
Me: Ma at least try to.
Mom: Don't lay a foundation for yourself, I know where this conversation is heading. (My mom believes that love marriages never work out and there is no such thing as love)
Me: Mom but u shud have multiple perspectives in life.

After all I am a patent engg i have to apply my learnings somewhere, if not at my job.
