Marcus might have outdone himself with such a brilliantly profound statement but it isn’t in conflict with what I suggested.
Facts and circumstances exist.
Things happen that become facts.
People may have a different perspective on why something happened but the fact that it happened should not be in dispute.
It's rather rudimentary to say: "Things that happen are facts". I doubt any normal functioning person says "that's not a cat it's a dog" when it is clearly a cat.
On a mirco level, Your perspective today of the "facts" of what happened during World War 2 would be infinitely different had Germany won the war.
Your perspective on the "facts" of what is happening in America is infinitely different if you care about the economy and employment than it is if you think racism is lurking behind every corner.
Your perspective on the "facts" of the "Russia hacking" of the American election is different if you have a cold war era mentality or have Gonk's Hilary blow up sex doll.
Your perspective on the "facts" of objective differences between sexes is very different to someone who bows down at the alter of modern feminism and postmodernism.
Your perspective of the "facts" of the ability of education having a godlike ability to create "equality" is very different to someone who bows down to the alter of Carl Marx.
Your perspective of the "facts" of climate change is very different to Gonk if you are one of the 30, 000 scientists that disagree that there is MANMADE climate change and realise that carbon increase historically always comes AFTER the increase of temperature. It's also different if you receive a share of the billions of dollars in politicized science.
Your perspective on the "facts" of Chinese aggression is very different to someone that doesn't soak in mainstream media like gospel on a daily basis.
Your perspective on the "facts" of Hayne's night out is very different to the fly on the wall that evening.
A lot of people would consider these "facts".
Facts and circumstances exist but only through your own perception.
On a macro level,
How do you know we are not in a matrix? How do you know your brain is hooked up to a system and everything you experience is at the hand of your creator.
I suggest you delve deeper into Marcus and realise how flawed humanity is. As Marcus would say waste no more time arguing what it takes to be a good man, be one.
