๐Ÿ” The shape of a lens

To have a view of something youโ€™ve got to actually be stood somewhere, so any view of reality will never be a clear one. Itโ€™s a view from the inside, looking in. One obscured by details, warped our lens and clouded by its cataracts.

When others are blind to things we understand, itโ€™s tempting to think we have a superior viewpoint. Sometimes this is true. But, there is no all-seeing view that reveals what weโ€™re blind to, and every misunderstanding is the emotion of understanding before arriving at hindsight.

The following sections explore a few viewpoints with as much ridicule as I can muster, but far less than they deserve. They offer no clarity of vision, but might help make us more careful drivers.
