Preference

Have you ever sat in a room with a few other people and experienced a film together? Each person has watched the film from their unique view point, each persons opion is valid. When talked about some opinions may be challenged and changed, but overal the experience will be judged as a whole, and given a reference that the group can all link back to in retrospect, for example " that was a great night" , or " lovely film ,shame about the ending".

As human beings we have to create meaning to our experiences, enabling us to connect and know how to talk with each other, explain, or comfort one another.

But what happens if one of the people watching the film has a pair of sunglasses on? so experiences the whole thing from a different view point that no one else can share or understand. What if, to make it even harder those sunglasses were invisible.

Ah but that's not hard enough!, let's make this senario even tougher and give it two more options possibly three. 

Option one. What if the person wearing these glasses did not have enough understanding to know they had the sunglasses on?

Option two. What if the person knew they had the glasses on but hated them so tried to hide their impact on the film from those watching with them?

Option three. What if the wearer knew they had the glasses on and so did the people watching, what if everyone understood?
