One of the most reflective pieces of an already reflective post resides in your disclaimer, @nobyeni. In those words, it's easy to see your pursuit of understanding of personal and interpersonal biases and the value you place in the affects these have in your sphere of influence.
without articles like these, i fear i often wouldn't take the necessary time to evaluate and reevaluate my own experiences and the lens - chosen and subconscious - they are placing on my worldviews and interactions.
to do so is so valuable, though, so i very much appreciate having philosophic thought pieces, such as this, to remind me to continue in my pursuits of objectivity in my life.
Great write, Nobi, and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your reply. It's wonderful to get such feedback. Yes, I felt the disclaimer seemed very necessary. Especially as here we cannot edit things after 7 days. And I feel like the whole point of writing and thinking, is the ability to change and to open our minds to things that we have not considered an option before. Thanks for sharing that commitment with me.
