Infinity

The insurmountable enigma of the limitless universe--the bottomless categories of time, and space--and even the word, infinity, must be one of the best guiding metaphors for understanding perspective. Starting from the ground/base, in language, plenty--arguably all--of communication is in some way rhetorical or persuasive. Simply put, you're convincing your listener, to listen. In argument, for example, convincing or winning over your opponent is, to some extent, a case of making them interested in your point of view and forcing them to question or doubt things. Coming back to perspective, the contradictory concept of a 3rd-person-totality of perspectives, or a perfect/universal perspective, is, necessarily, incomprehensible. Each of our perspectives, are simply (and for the amount of time wasted on overcoming such a matter: can be simply be) regarded as never unequivocally, 100%, factual, objective ideas or pictures of life 'in-itself'. Point of view, in this sense, is metaphorically (seeing as we're shooing away literal meaning completely: everything is fiction...) a spot light of each person's understanding. My argument, here, itself, is a spot light reflection of my understanding.

The bottom line here is that when you seem to be at that momentary tipping point in dealing with someone--where you just feel forced to say something unnecessary back--just see it as you see yourself: as another perspective.
