I agree with this. Everyone tends to take a bias to something and that is the angle that they will write from. This is why there are so many experts out there. They all want to be heard from their perspective. It is true that everyone has their own thoughts and they can change frequently to what the individual believes. That is what reaffirms truth to the individual. If something happens...we all know it happens....but each person will still see something different while it is happening. So their story and truth is built on what they saw.
