Hey, alright!The Gaming Gamer said:"Insincere" in that the questions you are asking do not appear real since the answers are so obvious. It is possible you could be looking for a deeper and more complex answer and just stated your question improperly, but by asking for just a simple "yes" or "no" answer implies that the question is no more complicated than what was stated. That explains the difference in replies; those that interpret your question litterally and reply with sarcastic remarks, and those that look for a more complicated meaning to your question because they are overlooking its simplicity. That right their shows differences in interpreting objective information just like the war in Iraq example you provided in your original post, which should be expected since interpretations are subjective in nature. You answered your own question in your first post with your example.
Looking at your second question it's really just as simple as the first. Of course some people will think their interpretation is right and everybody else's interpretations are wrong, that is why they they choose that interpretation. This can lead to two conclusions; they are right so everyone else has to be wrong, or they acknowledge that other people have different values so someone else's interpretation can be just as valid to them as your interpretation is to you.
In other words: yes, yes. Happy?![]()
That's what I was gonna say. Of course, that interpretation, too, is just one of infinitely many and, if you accept this, then none of them are right or wrong, just different.
Now here's a great question:
How can accepting this interpretation, which TGG so eloquently has laid out, affect the way you interact with all the people in your life?
