I love this so much. It really speaks to me because it explains a lot so simply... everyone has a different perception of things, and it often DOES reflect who they are as a person. How we think sort of defines who we are- and how we think also defines how we perceive different objects, people, and situations. So, how people perceive things... can say a lot about who they are themselves and how they think.
I always have found it interesting how people remember different events, and their view on what it was. For example- the tragedy of 9/11. I'm sure everyone has different memories from that day... for those involved who escaped the building, the memory is probably panic-filled and terrifying. People probably can recount what they were doing when the trauma began, etc. For those outside of the building and a great deal away, they might remember having their day interrupted, and the sadness or even suspense of knowing if a loved one got out of the building. This is simply a difference in memory... perception comes with the many different opinions about the crash. Some believe that the collapse of other buildings on the same day in a nearby area were related. There are countless conspiracy theories that prove the attack was staged by our own government in order to get rid of fouled paperwork. Others are willing to place the blame on other countries. In the end, I think it all winds down to thinkers and non-thinkers. Users of logic, and those who would rather believe anything society feeds them. This may just be one example, but I think it ties together what our world has come to very nicely. This post launched FAR away from the quote I used but... I think that what I had to say about the secondary topic was more important anyway. The quote was just a nice opening. In any case, I will leave this post here because I need coffee. ~Maddie
