Perception Is Reality

I was watching the movie Sneakers last night.  Despite the fact that the movie is a little over 20 years old, it serves as a reminder to me that our view of the world is based upon the perception of reality rather than actual reality.  It sounds really deep, but it is actually a rather simple concept.  While perception may not necessarily be accurate, it sometimes becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Perception can be a tricky thing.  Things are not always what they appear to be on the surface.  It is sometimes difficult to take reality at face value.  We tend to interpret what we see against our own values and experiences.  It takes some practice to see things with a different perspective.  In most cases, it's worth the practice.

See ya.
