A simple question which I would like some opinions on. Which comes first? Does perspective determine belief? or does belief determine perspective? Also, what roles do reality and imagination play in these determinations?
I'll define what I mean by perspective and belief, so as to avert possible side arguments.
Perspective - the way in which one views the world
Belief - a causal item which affects the decisions one makes in relation to their interaction with the world
Effectively my questions become: Does the way in which one views the world determine how they make decisions in relation to their interactions with the world around them? or, Does the way in which they make decisions determine the way in which they view the world?
Perhaps the answer is simply yes, or simply no, but I would appreciate some explanation along with your answer. Thanks for your time.
