Perception

So what is it that you see? How often do we view something but never really "see" it? If you are like most people, probably more often than not. The reason is fairly simple, all too often, we only see what we want to see. The eye plays a game of deception, a..."slight-of-hand" with the mind in order to make it believe. And so it is, as well, with our perceptions of the world around us. We desperately want to know that everyone is "good", but all are not. We wish that life was "fair", but often it is not.What_Is_It? The guy always gets the girl at the end of the story, but it doesn't always end that way. There are times we can actually look into the face of evil and not notice it right before us. Sometimes we have such a strong desire to see things a certain way, that no matter how hard someone tries to convince us otherwise, we simply refuse to see. But all perception is not so dismal. There are, in fact, some who see with great lucidity. Many of those are the very same people who have made the great misstep previously. Often our perception can be corrected if we simply choose to view something from another angle. So the next time you think that your perception is infallible, perhaps you should take a step back, check the lighting and maybe even close one eye. You might be surprised at just how different that situation will then appear!

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.-William Blake
