Random Rants 1

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

For today, I would like to rant on Perspective.

Google defines perspective as:

"particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view.''

Wiki further adds an edge to it and describes it as:

''In philosophy, a point of view is a specified or stated manner of consideration, an attitude how one sees or thinks of something, as in "from my personal point of view"".

The problem is, perspective remains just that, a personal point of view. You cannot expect anyone to share the same perspective as you do nor can you really see the same perspective as the other does. Thanks to the reality tunnel, sharing a perspective is become quite uncommon, even if it is common or you think it's common, is it really the exact same ? Guess we'd never know.

Nevertheless, we humans try. Even if the means putting ourselves in the shoes of the others (which again is not a reliable means to obtain the same perspective as the other, because honestly, we're all wired differently!)

And what the hell does it mean to put things into perspective? Hell I can't even effectively sketch a perspective on paper. How can one look at things separately, analyse, judge and piece each thing into a perspective when one does not know or is not aware that there may be another perspective that exists to it, not just oneself's. How can one piece things into perspective when our minds are so shallow and self-consumed, so inside the box, that we think we're seeing the bigger picture but then it's all an illusion?

What if perspective is an illusion and there is only a right and a wrong perspective, but it's just the human brain and the diversity of the human brain that makes it so damn complex?

So that's about it to my rant. Thank you for reading!
