I'm curious. Do any of you good people who are so devout you only look at things through a religious lens ever get tired of the view? I mean, doesn't looking at everything through a religious lens get a little bit like looking at life through a soda straw after awhile?
On a broader note, do you any of you good people who are so heavily politicized you only look at things through a political lens ever get tired of how narrow the view is?
Aren't all ideologies -- regardless of anything else -- a bit like looking at the world through soda straws?
What about cultures? Isn't your culture a bit like a soda straw? Isn't every culture that way?
What do you think of Nietzsche's notion that we should become "cosmic dancers" who only "step lightly" -- rather than "rest heavily" -- on any particular perspective and who dance between "perhaps a hundred perspectives" when looking at any given thing?
Does that make any sense to you? Would that be too many soda straws for you? Would it be too much work? Would it seem unnecessary? What would be the strength and weaknesses of being a cosmic dancer? Your thoughts, please.
