A bit on perspective, from a certain point of view

 

I think most people would say, generally, that perspective can be a great thing,

usually, until they meet some perspective that makes them uncomfortable or

they disagree with.

So the big question might be, what is the difference between perspective and

prejudice ?  Well, I would say mainly and mostly that , that, is a particularly

difficult question.  Most likely perspective is something you have, and

prejudice is something somebody else has.   

But , rationally speaking there should be a difference, and that difference

should be detectable, maybe even measurable.  But, from a practical point

of view, I would say that , that distinction, is subtle and difficult and most

generally requires some efforts to unwind.  One way to do that is in

concert with others who might have different perspectives or prejudices,

and to approach it from a somewhat humble, somewhat curious, somewhat

patient , somewhat deliberate, somewhat reflective, and maybe somewhat

caring kind of way.  Sometimes, this does work.  In theory, it should work

well, but in practice it certainly may take some serious work or effort.

But it's something to work at and something to work for, because the

benefits might definitely out weigh those difficulties, particularly from

a personal way of thinking, because your perspectives will work for

you, while your prejudices will often leave you in  more difficult

situations.
