#8 Response to Wallace “This is Water”

The article starts with a story between two young fish and an old fish about "what is water". The water is something that around you all the time that you even don't realize. A fish can only see the water from its point of view, therefore the opinion is subjective. The author tells many stories to explain the theory, like the atheist and the religious. This kind of things can be seen everywhere. People always can find their own way to explain a phenomenon, especially with a strong believe, like region. 
The article is quite straightforward. I agree that one's opinion is based on his or her value. It is important to notice the "water". However, rarely people can exactly tell what the water actually is. Because every idea is just from one view, if we want to know the whole thing, probably we need tons of ideas so that we could create a relatively large scale of concept that more achieve the truth. We should keep the "water" in mind.
