I have not been posting here recently. I've switched to Google Docs and Google Photos for most of my "blogs", such as they are. I found not many people who know me visit and read my blogs. So that explains the hiatus in posts. I keep this mainly as a kind of diary of my older travels. With all the disruption and turmoil, I'm reminded again of the blind monks and the elephant. We each have our own personal perspective that colors our interpretation of events. It's unavoidable; but we must respect that others have their own perspective that is different from ours, sometimes almost unbelieveably different. We wonder, "how can anyone have such an incredibly wrong/stupid/illogical/etc. idea. There are many physical examples you can see, most optical illusions are examples of different perspectives. check out some here: https://www.google.com/search?q=optical+illusions&oq=optical+i&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l7.9206j1j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Unfortunately, for some people, perception becomes reality that they are ready to debate, argue, fight or even kill about. see: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-power-prime/201908/perception-is-not-reality. In other words, reality doesn't care what you think and you cannot change it as much as you'd like to.
