“People don’t choose between things. They choose between descriptions of things."– Daniel Kahneman
Something very helpful to keep in mind this season. Be overflowing in grace in the course of our inevitable disagreements. Be quick to listen. Slow to speak.
Two artists can render differing impressions of a landscape. They may quibble about style or elements of emphasis, but neither mistakes their impression as the comparative which the other’s impression should be graded against. They both understand that the landscape itself is the standard – the subject that they are both trying to encapsulate.
There is much more room for grace when we realize we are all acting with impressions.
