Perspective

How can two people see the same situation differently?

People can notice different aspects of an event and attach different meanings to them. Understanding a perspective can reveal a missing concern without establishing every claim as true. We can separate what happened from what each person inferred and valued. Some differences can be clarified by evidence; others require negotiation or acceptance of disagreement.

A question to sit with (optional): Which part of our disagreement concerns facts, and which concerns meaning or priorities?
