A two-dimensional creature in a 3-dimensional world cannot possibly perceive the entirely of his surroundings. Do we BLAME him for that?

Some folks have a very expansive intellect. Others are somewhat limited. The ones who are limited will not be able to grasp things in the same way as those who suffer fewer limits. Here's the question. How can you blame people for having the views they have if they are incapable of having different views? You can't get blood from a stone and its dumb of you to think you can. If someone is born colorblind do we BLAME him/her for the inability to perceive colors? No. It's a defect of birth and I suppose everyone has some.

It's hard to remember that when you're talking to folks with different views that make no sense to you. Yours make no sense to them  either. We BLAME one another for things over which we have no control.


Isn't that being kinda stupid when you think about it? You blame folks for doing things that are awful IF THEY COULD DO OTHERWISE and choose not to.  But if they are LIMITED and have no other choice how are they at fault for THAT? I have to think about it some more.
