What is perspective?

Every human has a different perspective, or more generally, every living being has a perspective. The point of view (POV) or how they view the world. It differs from being to being, literally speaking. If you add the colour range, vision type, etc. there is always a different POV. The important factor that differentiates the facts or information is, perspective. The greatest example is the image from social media that says the different opinions of two persons viewing a number. To one person it is 6 and to the other, it is 9. So basically, what this image means is that for one person it is 9 and the other it is 6 and so neither of them is wrong. The primary question here is what is right and wrong? Do we know what right and wrong is consciously or sub-consciously?


The answer would be no, we do not know anything other than the instinct, basic instinct. Everything including right or wrong is fed to us by the people around us when we are brought up, the circumstances we face, and the situations we grow up in. Then there is something called logic. Logic is the systematic study of valid rules of inference, i.e. the relations that lead to the acceptance of one proposition based on a set of other propositions. This is the definition of logic if you google it, yes I also googled it and took this from Wikipedia. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, logic is defined as a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration: the science of the formal principles of reasoning. So all the definitions point out logic as something like a basic principle, a basic standard of the universe. Say, for example, we all love the superhero Superman from DC comics, for those who do not know about DC comics please be patient I am working on a post about comics and kinds of stuff. So yes, superman, the guy in red and blue, who flies around the earth and saves people, at one point in time we all wanted to be superman. Here logic is we know that there is no possible way to become superman, not by us or any others. Now you may ask, we all wanted to be like him isn't that illogical. That's where a mystery factor comes into play. The basic instinct is logic, but human emotions are not logic, societal standards are not logic, these are the factors that differentiate views, and perspective, (yes both are the same).
