Perspective

Perspective is a funny thing. 

What is your perspective about this great American city? 

One of my old bosses used to say, "Perspective is reality."

It always made sense, I suppose. But now, I wonder.

I wonder about perspective because both sides have their own perspective.

If you are telling half–truths and outright lies to get people to see your perspective, is your perspective "true," or "authentic"?

If you are telling half–truths and you're getting followers and people are joining your tribe, are they authentic?

When you create your viewpoint on a lie, your viewpoint will eventually crumble beneath you.

So, if perspective is reality, is it everyone's reality?

It's a slippery slope, isn't it?
