Perspective
If you were in my shoes, you would understand.
I might understand your perspective better, but the question of whether or not your perspective is clearer, truer, better than mine may be a separate question.
Often, when people argue that we must see the world through a different lens, they are engaging in a form of special pleading. If you only saw things from my point of view, you would recognize the validity of my point of view.
Hmm. Shouldn’t critical thinkers strive for a more objective POV?
Certainly, we often use language crudely. By saying, you need to consider this issue from another perspective, a person often means, there are more variables than you are presently considering.
And that is a valid argument.
