"Her Chair Trick

In the next session, I started the class by picking up a chair and placing it in front of me.

"What do you see?" I asked the class.

"A chair!"

Then I placed the chair upside down.

"Now what do you see?"

"Still a chair!"

Then I straightened the chair and asked a few students to stand in different places around the room and asked both those standing and those sitting to describe the same chair.

"You see this is a chair, but when you come to describe it, you do so from where you're positioned and from your own perspective. And so, you cannot say there is only one way of seeing the chair. Can you?"

"No! Obviously not. If you cannot say this about so simple an object as a chair, how can you possibly pass an absolute judgement on any given individual." "


From Audiobook: Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi


Wanted to use this quote today, as it jumped out at me today.

Negativity: As I've seen so much negative stuff on FB recently, I've wished to unplug from it altogether rather than being caught up in it and then feeling crap.

Positivity: But also using the quote, because we all take Blips, some of the same places and similar subjects, but the meanings different to each one of us as the individual Blipper and also to the onlooker.

PS, Yes I was being watched taking this Blip. ;-)
