Inui's Data Tennis

I enjoy gaining many perspectives.
I usually obtain them through bludgeoning conversations.

The next time I have an encounter, I situate a multiple-choice question.
Which answer has the highest probability of being right?

Certainly, I will arrive a point where I had encountered all possibilities and therefore understand society.

So instead of seeing a person as a real life person, I see them as a mess of probabilities.
When the person's action falls under the multiple-choice with the highest probability, it is to be expected.
When they do not, then I already knew that the possibility was there.
And when they pick 'none of the above', I can enter new data.

But even if the person answers the way I predict, I will always doubt their answer.
It's not 100% a)! What if they chose a) but only because everybody else choose it, and their true answer was b)?

I think that every thing can be expected to a degree, so even if I fail, I can tell myself that it's okay, I knew that it was possible I was wrong.

There are so many things lack in this method of understanding people.
1) I use my past experiences of person A, to understand another person.
2) Why do I not just take people as they are?

People are more complicated that math, there's no formula to understanding a person.
I want to improve myself, and I have always done that through mimicking who I see.
Whether it would be a family member, friend, TV character, or housemate.

Still, shouldn't I be focusing on mimicking Jesus?
Hm, it is obvious hard to mimic Jesus when I haven't read the Bible for myself.
