I met a man, he was called Perspective. As I talked to him I realized that he was part of me.
"How do you know that you're right?" I asked
"Because it only makes sense." He replied
As I watched him, I could see that Perspective did not have very good eye sight. I could tell that he didn't hear well all the time and I wondered at the faith he had in his impaired senses.
I wondered how he possibly could trust the accuracy of information due to his limitations.
So, I asked again, "How do you know you're right?"
"It's obvious, how could you think anything else?" he countered.
He is blind, I thought. Stubborn. I felt sorry for him. I also was angry at his arrogance and stupidity and how it injured others.
Then I remembered that he was part of me.
Very thought-provoking. Found myself thinking about this all week, and it found it's way into conversations as I recognized how often this is part of life
ReplyDeleteMe too. It really makes you step back and think about things.
