point of view?

From here looking out over the valley sometimes I wonder what it looks like from another ridge on the other side and I would try to imagine the view. Fortunately I've had the time, and needed to travel to the other side of the valley and in fact to all ends of it. The result is that I no longer have need to imagine the view from many of the ridges across the valley I remember the view from across it and can recall the experience and the views from where I've been.

An analogy for many things !

I was once told that "you can imagine anything, but you gotta experience something to really know it".
I don't think this would be advisable for some types of dangerous things but as a general idea behind getting knowledge and experience,  it works! It has worked for almost all of us from birth. yet as we get older we learn to ignore the lessons and refuse to acknowledge new possibilities. We jade ourselves with a dogmatic trust of our belief. We have listened and experienced, therefore we know.......

Point of view is everything! remember that without differing points of view there would be no three dimensional view of anything. Differing points of view are the revelation of something new or unexpected in a place that seems familiar. It is this new perspective that has brought many inventions and innovations into the world.

Take a look at things from a different angle and see if there is something new you had overlooked before. Belief is not knowledge. Belief is dogma and could be misleading or not relative to what is happening here, now. Without continuing to watch and listen to our world and allow our point of view to shift we fall into belief and fail to see the brilliance in the everyday things around us.
