However, the only purpose that perspective serves is to grant us an illusion of orientation. To allows us to believe that we have a direction in life, to allow us to see the difference between right and wrong, good and evil and light and dark. Consequently, perspective is the only way we can define what is right or wrong and, likewise, the way we define right and wrong is also unique.
The concept of good and evil in itself is flawed. An evil man will never think of himself as evil, he would have convinced himself, that from his perspective, the evils he is committing are just and right, despite that the rest of the world labels him as evil. It comes down to perspective. The way in how we view the world, the way in how we interpret information and how we perceive our actions.
As human beings we required definition and direction. It creates an illusion of success and development. We create labels, such as intelligence, ignorance, kindness, morality, immorality, amongst other things, to make it easier to adhere to utilise perspective. These labels force us to make judgements and assumptions about things we don't understand, people we don't know and knowledge we can't grasp. We force the labels upon ourselves and others in the vain hope that they grant us direction and purpose. When, in reality, they are just an illusion.
We create illusions to distract us from the harsh reality. We make up new words to make ourselves seem smarter and in control. We destroy the planet we inhabit in order to make ourselves more comfortable. We look to the skies and mumble half-remembered phrases in the hope that it fixes things.
Our perspectives do not allow us to see what we really are. They only show us the illusion of progress and orientation. These illusions serve no purpose other than what we allow them to.
Perspective. It's just an illusion.
