Lost Art of Thinking #21: Undersstand your perceptions are determined by your point of view

Dumbth: The Lost Art of Thinking, Rule #21: Understand that your perceptions, opinions and beliefs are, to a remarkable degree, determined by your point of view.

Do not confuse "your point of view" with "your opinion." Your opinion is determined by your point of view.

We will automatically become better people, philosophically and morally, if we develop the ability to appreciate other points of view and the opinions to which they inevitably give rise.
