Delusions, Perspective and You

Dear God, I pray that thing in his right hand is a chocolate bar.

A delusion is a false fixed belief that is not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence. As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, confabulation, dogma, illusion, hallucination, or some other misleading effects of perception, as individuals with those beliefs are able to change or readjust their beliefs upon reviewing the evidence.

Wikipedia

A perspective is a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view. An opinion.

An opinion is a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Just wanted to be sure we all knew what we were talking about here. Because some folks’ perspectives seem deluded.

But then again that’s only my opinion.

What is your perspective when you look at that meme?

This six-year-old coal miner.

Capitalism vs. regulation – what’s your opinion?

Smoking a pipe.

Is “our children are the future” a delusion?

You don’t even know why you think what you think you think.

That’s what I think.

Look at this from a Republican perspective. Day care costs were way down and pipe sales were way up.

Christians are thinking this is the Lord’s work and the meek shall inherit in the afterlife. And don’t forget to tithe.

Cuban-Canadian Ted Cruz (Reptile – Texass) takes one look and decides the only answer – and he is confident we can definitely all agree on this – harder helmets are the best option to ensure kids’ safety.

Democrats are thinking maybe the unions shouldn’t have gotten into bed with the Mob.

I look at this like, hey, he’s gonna stunt his growth. Not exactly his first day at work either.

My opinion.

Plus my mother was a coal miner’s daughter.

So, some solid basis in fact.
