Context Is Everything

Look around for a moment.

The world you see isn’t just what’s in front of you—it’s how you frame it.

How do you make sense of things?

What catches your eye?

How do you choose to respond?

Take rain, for example.

It can stop you from going out, ruin your plans, and leave you frustrated.

Or—if you shift your perspective—it can become something else entirely.

The rain can be your canvas.

Pick up your phone, capture its rhythm, the reflections, the quiet poetry of droplets racing down glass.

In that instant, you’re no longer trapped indoors—you’re the photographer you always dreamt of being.

The rain transforms from a burden into a gift.

The same holds true in the world of code.

A snippet may look like a jumble of logic, confusing and messy at first glance.

But step into a different context.

See it through a tester’s sharp eye, or a beginner’s fresh lens.

Suddenly, what once seemed tangled reveals its own kind of beauty and clarity.

Context is not just background—it is reality.

It shapes how you interpret, how you feel, and ultimately, how you act.

So the question is—

When the moment presents itself… which context will you choose?
