"Landscape is a Point of View"

"Inevitably, though, the paths we choose to approach [landscape] - words, pictures, music, dance, gardens, sports - lead us only to points of view which are full of vision, but short of whole sight."
"Landscape is a Point of View", Gregory Conniff

I believe this quotation shows why each person, community, or religious sector has their own image of freedom. Our own histories, or landscapes, provide each and everyone of us with unique experiences which give us our own independent views. No two visions of freedom can be exactly the same, and that can make us uneasy with ourselves - which the article goes on to mention.
I think this article is very important when studying about different settlements, especially the Puritans. Their idea of freedom is much different (and what I think is very skewed), but given their surroundings, it makes perfect sense to them.

...I hope this made sense.
