Impartiality is an absolute that is, I believe, almost unattainable. It is very much akin to the disparity between a subjective versus objective perspective. At some point, our personal bias has to come into the equation.

Take the classic opening to 2001 a space Odyssey in which primitive man first recognizes that the bone from an animal that had been eaten, was suddenly a tool that was capable of fending off a warring tribe.

What was previously debris and discards from previous meals, gives way to the birth of tools and weapons.

Jumping countless millennia into the future, we find ourselves approaching art, relationships, literature, employment, education and so many other interpretive variables through the interpretation of our own personal construct of understandings and preferences.

This perspective is applicable to the cup half full versus half empty syndrome. What we see, starts with the parameters with which we are able to judge and evaluate what we are seeing. So in the end, everything is interpretive.

And how one chooses to interpret the variables before them will directly impact one’s final outcome.

Have you ever noticed how the same piece of music can be the most exhilarating thing in your world at one moment and in another, strictly background music? I believe this is the same phenomenon. This is the projection of ourselves, and thereby our moods, onto that which we are experiencing.

I hope your Thursday is off to a vibrant start😊
