A laymen definition of perspective: the way something is seen. Something happens around dozens and gaggles and multitudes of people, and they all see something else or something more.
As we get older and wiser, does our perspective increase or does it change.
An argument could be made that perspective simply expands. We might not, at one point be able to see or interpret or understand the entire “picture,” but as we grow more and more of the picture is made visible and comprehendible, as if the blinders over a window had been lifted and the grit and grime washed clean.
Similarly, perspective could morph and contort as the mind of a child develops into the mind of an adult. What may have seemed innocent and harmless when we were young reveals its guilt and malice until it bears no resemblance to how it previously appeared.
Four days after our classes have ended, and I have yet to sort all of the memories and emotions and facts and figures into a format that I can understand. My central processing unit works diligently to defragment the hard-disk of my mind. May what remains after all has been considered be objective and accurate, and may my perspective, small or large or cone-shaped or cubic, be sufficient to decode it.
