Our opinion of the facts can change

     "It is not the facts which guide the conduct of men, but their opinions about facts, which may be entirely wrong. We can only make them right by discussion," according to Norman Angell. It is difficult to understand another person's perspective of facts, but we can all interpret facts differently. A fact is defined as, "Something that truly exists or happened. Sometimes receiving more information regarding a fact can make your opinion of it change, that is why it is important to read and talk to others about situations, people and circumstances. Our thoughts regarding a fact can be skewed by events that happened to you, your own family, your job or many other factors. This is one of the reasons that the jury selection process is so difficult. The jury members will be presented with facts, but each person will have their own opinion about the truth. There have been many times in my life that I have viewed the facts one way only to change it when something happened, or it changed even just with the passage of time. The facts cannot change, yet our opinion of the facts can change.
