Blind in perception

You think you have it all figured out, you're not the only one, a lot of people do. The issue is not ignorance or not having enough
Opinions are formed, a life is built. But over time and after some emotional trauma, the mind begins to treat its perspectives as though they are indisputable. This emotionally sculpted fact of yours is one of an infinite amount of perspectives, yet you grant it the utmost confidence.

When fact status is achieved, disagreement is over. Without fact status, a dialogue is cast as a debate in which the outcome is confusiny predetermined.

Listening changes to you just looking out for where the opposition is wrong.

The ugly truth is every person's reality is shaped by the confines of their lived experience. The gaps, the unseen, the invalid, the unmapped, it's all there but you're so confident in the factionalized truth you have.

What a sad scenario, when two people of completely different understanding are in stubborn opposition. The confidence is the blindness.

It's okay to be confident in your point of view while also allowing for the possibility of alternative facts. These are not mutually exclusive. People like this are usually easier to get along with, tougher to control and almost always more skilled at addressing practical issues.

We all look through a window and it's not your point of view that's larger, it's just your window.
