" The only people who see the whole picture,' he murmured, 'are the ones who step out of the frame. "

The only way to see the whole reality is to step aside and look at it as a third person. If you're in a problem and see the situation from your perspective, you will never get a whole picture because your desires and fear will be imposed on that scene and there will be no rational decision.

To get the whole picture of anything, you need to step out of the frame and see the situation as it is without involving your emotions.
