Perspective

Fact or fiction...it's an argument for perspective. In grad school, one of my classmates, was discussing fact or what is 'correct' and morally right as 'right.' I responded that it depends on your perspective. I think it's why I have a problem with formalized religion....many times throughout history religion has clouded what is fact by their opinion of what is morally right. For example, when Christianity was 'brought' to Native Indians of an area, the Christians thought this was 'right' because it was a fact to them the native people were 'savages.' Now looking back on it the roles were actually the reverse in my perspective that the Christians, in fact, were the 'savages' and it would have been morally right for the native people to attack back. These kind of situations of perspective happened consistently....in religions, big business, politics, etc.

It must be the reason I shy away from these areas.....
