Perspective
How you see the world determines how you want to talk about it.
When people say we lack a shared reality, the fact that we can live in the same world, marked by the same set of events, and have such different views of what it all means is astounding, frustrating, and just real life. This drives home a critical point: What happens in the world matters, but our interpretation of what happens in the world matters more.
That doesn’t mean we should pay any less attention to facts. It means we should pay more attention to perspectives.
