I can expand on what I said. Everyone has a unique point of view, a unique set of experiences, and a set of problems that their life saddles them with. Whenever people come into contact, those points of view are also meeting. Am I recognizing that my point of view can impinge on yours? Am I making room for yours? Because I see the world this way, as a set of presumably objective data that each of us encounters uniquely, “crazy” is only a matter of degree.
But the reason I mentioned this in the first place is not to propound my philosophy, but to give an example of what functions as a principle in me. And I wondered if that might be true for you, that a principle can be something derived from experience, observation, and insight. Instead of being based on something more like norms, or something that is in the larger, let’s say spiritual arc of time, fleeting.
