The only thing we can do is to process the recollections of another's POV, process it, and adapt our own POV with the bits and pieces we choose. As long as there is a hint of our already existing POVs, the POV of another taken in will be corrupted by the prior POV. The only way to purely know another's POV is to be that person, to have lived their life, and to know what they know. We can try to empathize with another's POV, but can never fully understand, or "know" it. Long > Short Answer Conversion = It' a matter of definition. I'd make a helluva philosopher if I thought there was any future in it. :P</p> Because we cannot truly “know” another person’s point of view without having experienced it first hand and without any knowledge of the already-established POV.

being quite aggressive and persuasive in offering my view on reality i sometimes lose faith in those around me.

in doing so i become that mild stinging intolerance that i am so dead set against.

my peers [for the most part] respect me and look to me for guidance and it is quite rare when someone counsels me in the ways of life, delighted as they admire my jaw hitting the floor……upon my disbelief……lol
