This is a playground contraption, shot from a strange angle and very close-up. But it could be many other things, it's up to you to interpret.
However, once we know what something is, then it becomes harder at times to imagine it being something else.
But do we really know what we know?
Have you ever been absolutely sure of knowing something only to later discover you were wrong?
Eyewitness accounts of incidents of the same particular incident can be remembered in as many versions as the number of eyewitnesses describing it. All versions according to each one regarded as the true one.....each one sure that they know. A new movie is released, it has an ambiguous ending, millions of people watch it and each person draw their own conclusions. The ending is debated in lunch rooms, on the buses, trains, planes, waiting rooms, etc.and most of us are sure that we know the most probable ending.
We like to be sure, we like to know, we like for others to agree with us.
What if some don't?
Often we begin with presenting what in our view are reasonable arguments, common sense, logic and so forth, to help the other see that our view is much more valuable.
What if our view is still rejected?
Often something strange happens after we have presented a "good case" and been dismissed out of hand; we become personally invested, its not just our opinion/view that has been rejected, we feel as if we have been rejected, and especially so if the issue discussed is very important to us.
(Issues such as religion, politics, money, art, child rearing, and sports, to mention but a few, springs to mind.)
Whatever the issue and the disparities, behind them all there is person. A person just like you and me with many similar needs, desires and potentials. We are all on the journey called "life", we all draw conclusions from our experiences thereof, and most of us hope to love and be loved.
Should those conclusions be very different, ..........how could they not be?
There are many games hidden on a chessboard.
