Hi Veronica
I missed it, but individual perspective and how that evolves has always been fascinating to me.
Someone told me a story when I was little, about three blind men being introduced to an elephant for the first time. One placed his hands on it's trunk and deduced that an elephant must look like a great snake. The second man placed his hands on the elephant's tail and left with the conviction that an elephant was not snake-like at all, but more like a swinging piece of rope. The third man circled his arms around the elephant's leg and knew that certainly the other two must be wrong. Elephants were like very large trees, plain and simple.
It's all in individual perspective.
