As we grow, we grow to see the world in a certain way. And as each person grows differently, the world that is seen is different. What the world appears to be like depends on where we stand when we look at it.

Often people assume that, because we occupy the same physical space (or at least we assume to, as we have no way to prove it either way), that our worlds are the same, and more importantly, that one's world is the right one, and any one that dares say otherwise is lying, crazy or deluded.

Yet what we see is just what we see. In a physical sense, we can only see certain wavelengths of light and not others, and that's fine. It is all our ancestors needed to survive, and it is all we need. It is all that we can see, without sophisticated equipment. Even if one has gaps in the way one sees the world, one is seeing it the only way one can. Even if it is, objectively, deluded.

However, too often, there is an idea of what is 'right', and those who don't do what is right are either evil for defying rightness or ignorant for not knowing what's right. We make up rules saying it is right to do this and that, and fail to realize the "if and only if..." that should follow the declaration.
