A truth mainly consists of the lens through which a person looks.

Leo looks at the world through his Bijbellens and sees completely different 'dangers' than you.

Dad looks at the world through his internet lens and sees a different Internet than you.

Mama looks at the world through an NS lens and sees a lot of trains, but different from you!

Tania looks at the world through an opera Lens and hears a lot of music differently than you.

I've heard you before about a school assignment where you had to highlight different perspectives on a subject.
I think that almost every subject can be sketched a 180 degree different perspective
and it can be made plausible to take one of the two positions which are therefore diametrically opposed to each other.

And this, of course, also happens constantly. Often people just don't see each other at all through their own lens.
As a result, there is literally talk past each other. Because one simply can not or will not see the other. Let alone listen.

Often perspectives are still based on an interpretation of facts. Which are interpreted differently by one party by the opposing party.

In recent years, you can also see perspectives that are based purely on stories that
are conceived to simply push away truths or to dominate.

The conspiracy perspectives are a deliberately chosen narrative to exercise power. It is then about power. Not facts.
This will serve groups that you can use for your (political) goal but that the complex
The world does not want to fathom at all and take the inventions for sweet cake.
Easier than really trying to understand what's going on.
A truth is being constructed that simply suits you better.

I simply don't know how to deal with the people who go with this.
Previously, a perspective could differ, but the lenses were still focused on each other.
Nowadays, the parties seem to choose to consciously look the other way but to face the confrontation.
A conversation, contact is almost impossible. I hope to provide you with an answer later.

For now, I'm ignoring professionally.
Although I also know that's not the solution. Without contact and conversation, no solution.

The truth doesn't exist. Just perspectives.
