Without a viewpoint none of us shall know what to get out of life. Take the case of Paul Cezanne whose father a prosperous banker from Aix, was dead against his taking up art as his career. But Paul refused to budge from his stand. He wanted to become a painter. Even there he did not wish to become just another painter, letting himself led through paces as every conventional painter of his day would have done. He thought of representing Nature in his canvas in terms of geomentrical shapes. Cezanne had a viewpoint.
You and I have viewpoint that shall never match totally. For this simple reason we compete one another. However fierce it may be, our viewpoints draw relevance from our world around us. Our success also directly depends on it. In time and place.
Lev Trotsky was a very good organizer, whom Lenin had named as his successor to lead the Communist party. But Joseph Stalin as the General Secretary of the Communist party worked behind the scenes and had the rank and file behind him. In the power struggle that followed after Lenin was laid by a stroke, found Stalin in power. Stalin and Trotsky had different viewpoints as to the direction the party should take. It was irreconcilable and could only end in defeat for the one who was chosen by none other than Lenin himself.
