“Diary Entry: 10/13/24 – 6 or 9“
I want to state that I understand the importance of understanding a person’s perspective. Still, many perspective issues stem from a lack of information—for example, six or nine perspective illustrations. The meaning of the illustrations is straightforward; you being right doesn’t make me wrong since we are both correct from our point of view. At face value, this is true, but by asking a few questions, you can see that one person could be misinformed.
There are times when perspective is the only different outcome of thought. But lately, the term perspective has been used as a weapon to protect ignores. I have noticed that when people are involved with the “that’s my perspective” card, it’s a social norm to end the discussion. It’s crucial to question your own perspective to gain a deeper understanding, but that can’t happen when the conversation is shut down when it is time to do so. I don’t want to use real-life examples; let’s keep this light; I don’t want to use a controversial topic to explain this; I don’t think it is necessary to convey my point. I will break down the 6 or 9 illusion, where asking questions would help change perspective.
Two plus two will always equal four regardless of who you are, meaning truth isn’t subjective. I can understand how both parties can see what they see, but only using your perspective isn’t the way to the truth. In this case, the truth would be what the number was attended to be. To get the truth, some questioning is required. The first should be who drew the number. The creator intends to be the surefire way to get the answer. But that would lead to the likelihood of the creator being able or willing to answer the question.
What if the creator is no longer with us? Then we have to investigate the creator, the relic they left back. Do they write it down somewhere in a notebook or journal? If not, did they somehow have a tie to six or nine loving organizations? or were they part of a culture that values one number over the other? The point is that your perspective is not a path to truth; at best, it’s an indicator that a path exists. To get on that path, you must question your what you think and understand your perspective can’t hold truths past your nose.
