Flatland: Perspectives and Assumptions, how often does yours change?

to begin with, i would like to give a shout out to my dear friend Simon, his enthusiasm and excitement for this blog has truly been an inspiration.

secondly, sunk is a buttface.

and finally, let me say that reading flatland was hmmmm, interesting. reminds me of this quote (that sunk spotted; happy sunk?):

"I went to the moon and discovered earth".

Flatland took me to another world and walked me through the the basics of this new world: their way of life, characteristics of the town, how they operated, how the inhabitants of flatland created structure and hierarchy...after reading so many serious works by academics and scholars, it was refreshing to read a work of fiction. in a way, it allowed me to step outside of our own world, and step into a world based on completely different assumptions. How often do we mistake our own assumptions for reality? How often do we step outside of our own frame of reference to experience and know truth outside of our perspective? yea i know it sounds dramatic...but hey, it is funny how we all become so involved in our own assumptions of reality that we become glued more to our assumptions than knowledge of what is possible.
