The definition of perspective
Perspective is the sum of all of our past experiences, abilities, and what ever knowledge that has been learned by us as individuals. Perspective acts as a thick lens over our senses that affects our view of the universe. We are often not aware that we are even wearing these perspectives but every one is affected by it and no two are the same. Since it is the sum total of all of our past experiences it is changing constantly but dramatic changes are often the most notable. Like when my parents got divorced my perspective and I lost it’s sense of invulnerability to the world

interesting qualifier. I like it. We are, I think , rarely aware of the lens of bias that does cloud perspective. This is especially true when we d=get down to the fundamental moral decisions of our lives: what informs our morals or ethics when the chips are down? Is it our conscious mind or a preconfigured behavior pattern?
