A Finite Perspective

Perspective defines reason, with no reference to someone's perspective there is little to no way to see it from their point of view. Associations with past experiences determine the finer points of one's perspective, some simple such as a specific song being tied to a period of life, while others layered with complexity such as one's hardwired morals/beliefs intertwining with multiple emotions on the topic at hand. No matter the specifics, every perspective is wildly in variation with any external one. Similarities may be apparent but the fact of the matter is still the same; you can never honestly say: “I know how you feel” when someone is feeling down, because you can't, you may have an idea but nothing more than a glimpse of one at best.
