" We see the world not as it is, but as we are"
Came across this quote and started thinking about perception. Have you ever wonder if you too argued or even had a brawl with someone on a topic and prioritized your own perception over others?
Perception is like setting a self limit and mostly we don't like if someone not agreed with us. The others may not be right all the time, but our perception restrict us to listen to them, instead try to force them to believe our point of view. And, when they didn't, it often end up in quarrel or break in relationships.
There are many factors contributing to our perception on certain things-family, culture, friends, interest, expectation and many. But not all the things that we were interpreted is the truth.
Awareness of the way we think is important. Everyone should spare some time, just sit and revise our past, think what are things we believe strongly and why. Is what we believe is correct or we actually can be more open about few things? Before we voice out our opinion, let others express their feelings and recognise values of their knowledge. This way, it will bring more understanding and healthy conversation.
Let go of misperception and let in open-mindedness.
Do tell me what's your "perception" about this article. *wink*
