Move your feet then look again

I just stumbled over an old post and reading it made me think hard (again).
I had never considered the confidence of the lady wearing the burka to have no need to display her body for male approval or the fact that she may actually be the more empowered.
I remind myself over and over to try to look from another angle. The older I get, I think I am getter better at seeing it from the other perspective and yet at the same time the more convinced I am that my own angle makes more sense.
He also said if you can see 2 sides to an argument you probably have a full picture. I guess you do but you are often still stood looking at those 2 sides from the same place. I guess the art is to look at the picture from many different angles. Then maybe you start to see so much more than you did before

I'm so emotionally led, it is as important for me for something to feel right no matter what the logic says. And it matters not one jot how many logic problem or sudoku puzzles I solve, the lady always spins clockwise for me initially and I have to concentrate to brain hurt stage before I can make her go the other way.
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS | RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS |
uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe |
uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |
So, the older I get and supposedly the wiser I become, more steadfast in it's ways becomes my brain and my thought patterns. Should I be trying to continue to try to get my mind to push down the walls or do I just find contentment in like minded people and ignore the rest.
Maybe, I'll just open a window and let a little air in.
