My Obsessions

"There are no facts, only interpretations." - Nietzsche

I have a serious obsession with thought provoking quotes. This one has to be the one that has made me think the most. The one that completely satisfies my hunger to grow.

Every "fact" is open to interpretation. My view, or "interpretation" of something may be completely different from someone else's view. Recently I sent a thought for the day to some friends and one texted back a completely different "interpretation" than mine. It read "Genorosity with strings is not genorosity. It's a deal." I agreed with this wholeheartedly. He interpreted everything being a deal...no true genorosity. Though I understood his view, I disagreed. I understood that at times with genorosity, we expect a genorous act to follow...hence the strings. He stated to me that everything comes with strings...so as I stated, I understood his interpretation.

I thought I would share this with you all. It's interesting how a few words can change your life. Change how you view every aspect of your life. Everything anyone ever told you was a fact.
