Comment # 6 from Jim and Hemant on Radio
“What Hemant said about everyone swaying the same way during singing - I don’t think that means they’ve inappropriately surrendered their individuality any more than when everyone in a group claps in time to music (sacred or secular)”
When Hemant brought up this issue during the radio interview I was quite surprised. I had not noticed the group swaying so my response was to challenge his perception. After listening to the interview I realized that neither of us could prove or disprove the “swaying” even though both of us were actually present while it was or wasn;t happening.
This small but very real example of misperceptions made me wonder if any of us are able to truly be objective. I guess I just don;t think that kind of highly disciplined objectivity exists for Cs ,As or any normal human being. And if I’m right then it is true that we probably expect way too much of each other and it also brings into question what then does prompt us to change our viewpoints since “the facts” can be whatever we seem to want to make of them.
I realize that there are Cs and As who for very different reasons will arrive at the exact same answer to this question- “There is objective reality/truth- and THEY (those who oppose my view) are simply unwilling to admit it”
Frankly I am completley unconvinced of both viewpoints and especially the way both groups arrive at their “certainty”. I think we expect too much of each other.
