Perception
*
*
Sensory input, rationalized mentally
Conjured and intuitive assessment
Conceptual, biased reality, imagined
Mental recreation of fact; perception
*
We see what we want to see,
And hear what we want to hear.
“I can’t believe he was a killer,”
“He seemed like such a nice guy”
*
“She is such a slut”
“He is a selfish bastard”
“She is a bitch”
“He is a womanizer and a cad”
*
Labels, based on perception
Judged reality by our assessment
Shared with others for validation
Of our own ambiguous imagery
*
Our own perception of ourselves
Not based on reality, but conjured
Camouflaged by desire and confidence
Blended with self-esteem and fantasy
*
Our lives are controlled by perception
Input from our senses processed
With semi-conscious assessment
Always question your perception!
