The Problem With Tape Measures



The problem with using a tape measure and a level to build a house is that if you follow the architect’s plans the house will have the same dimensions as indicated on the blueprints.

It’s a problem…right? It must be, because in virtually all other areas of life we don’t want to apply consistent measurements, we want to build our lives as we go, on the fly, eyeballing right and wrong and making adjustments to our beliefs to satisfy our immediate desires.

If we wouldn’t build a house relying on our sight perceptions, why do we build our lives that way?
