It’s a Point of View

There are only two worldviews.

I believe I’m a part of the system,

or I don’t.

That’s it.

Everything else is point of view.

We inflate point of view.

We confuse it with capital T truth.

We confuse it with worldview.

We mistake a practiced lens

for the structure of reality.

Religious frameworks.

Scientific traditions.

Spiritual maps.

All valuable.

All just points of view.

They may be long held,

deeply felt,

culturally reinforced

points of view.

Worldview is binary.

Point of view is infinite.

My problem isn’t having a point of view.

The problem is believing mine is the view.

When I confuse where I’m standing

with the shape of the system,

I act like I know more than I do.

I act like I’m seeing the whole

when I’m seeing from my perspective.

That’s not clarity.

That’s overreach.

Point of view is helpful.

Until it isn’t.
