Perception
In relation to the west and east side of the house and perception, and I know it's probably annoying that it's the only thing I talk about, I wanted to pose the question: does a person's perception of his or herself put them in one side or the other, or is it other people's perceptions that place someone? I worded that terribly but I was thinking about how what one person thinks about himself differs from what other people think (obviously). This relates to that long conversation that we had a few classes ago about the hockey team; we may think we're tamed on the east side but everyone else may see us as west siders. Which perception holds true, and which perception actually matters?

This is a very interesting idea of which one is true and which one matters. Personally, I think that what is true is the whole picture. One has to self-awear enough to understand what the whole picture is. To fit into your metaphore, I think that instead of east or west, one has to see both the east, west, and even the ballroom. The whole picture encompasses every possible view and which one matters depends soley off what matters to the person.
