Blog 8: Response to Wallace “This is Water”

After reading this article, I think I know better how to thinking about things happened in my life. Sometimes you can never change a person’s mind even you could show him or her exact evidence. This is because we can never know his or her belief. Just like the example the author give, a person lost in the blizzard and get survived finally: if he is a person who believe in god, he could even believe in god more and think the god saved him; however if he is a person who does not believe in god, he would just think other person saved him but not the god. That is the difference, they have the different view about the world, and no one can change it.

I totally agree the author and in my opinion, we should not be angry to others just because they have the different ideas with you. We should stand in their view to think the questions and maybe try to find how the difference happens in the same question. This is a great way to make and keep more friends.
