Interesting thoughts and I appreciate you sharing your insights. One thought I had concerning your comment, "not all perspectives are created equal" is that if we are all divine beings, which I believe we are, then I believe all perspectives are created equal (it is okay for you to believe differently of course :) ). All perspectives share the same genesis in that they spring from our divinely created minds. Now, while they all emerge from the same divine source. They do become "colored" by life experience and circumstance to form a unique, individual perspective. So to claim one perspective is superior or better or more enlightened than another is simply just "perspective." haha!
I think this is also why it is difficult to truly see someone else's perspective. We can't see through their lens without actually putting on their glasses (aka worldview). Thanks for helping me further solidify some of my thoughts and beliefs. Discussion and sharing definitely helps us formulate our thoughts. Perhaps this is truly one of the most valuable reasons for sharing our beliefs!
