Some would say the master of none. To me this is like the: “Is the glass half full or half empty?” discussion. Each of us has the God given ability to choose. The result is we tend to see things from different perspectives. The dilemma… Who’s right?
Diversity of perspective has by some been regarded as the ‘seeds of rebellion’ and ‘heresy’. Yet many of these so called heresies have resulted in the positive growth of society and life.
In my opinion, finite man in and of himself does not and cannot have absolute perspective. We are forced to rely on the perspectives of others to get a more complete picture of the whole. This then changes the question from “who’s right?’ to “what are you seeing that I'm not?”
Perhaps this is why Solomon said, "arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord, but wise men and women listen to each other's counsel."
