Lets try to percieve positively!

“Perception” is my all-time favorite topic to research. Every day when I wake up in the morning, my goal is to perceive things from different dimensions.

Today, I found a video on YouTube,” Limits Of Perception” where I learned a quote of Albert Einstein. “It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, world are hidden of which we are unaware.” It’s true. We humans experience our day to day life by our five senses and we do perceive things differently. But we mostly perceive by seeing things that happen around us.

Writing about such a big word can turn to be a debate. Today science has expanded our horizon. We can see a bizarre world of small atoms, molecules through electron microscope where as there is a telescope to look beyond earth, galaxy. Though science expanded our horizon yet there is no such process for perceiving things in the same way another people do. It differs from person to person. A black wall might be nothing for a person yet can be canvas for other.

Our five senses, culture, age, gender force us to perceive things. To perceive means to become aware, to come to a realization or understanding; it is the way we see. But then perception always cannot be true. Is it because our perception is influenced by others attitude, the way they are presented to us, their habits? Why the perceptions we make don’t become reality? A simple example, a year ago at my first semester of bachelors I made a wrong perception on a guy, I thought he was just a bookworm, there is no life rather than studying and getting good grades but eventually as time passed on I came to know he’s an adventurous and a very interesting guy.

Whether we are an optimist, a pessimist, a realist or an idealist these factors makes a huge impact in the process of perceiving. It’s up to us on how to analyze the situation. What matters to us in our life? The way we live in the society, our age, gender, culture, circumstances we face are the main reason why we are different and why we perceive things differently.

Perceiving things let us know about who we are, what we want in our life and what we need to do. But we should keep in mind that there are people to perceive us every time. It might bring a disaster or make our life beautiful. It’s up to us. Sometimes we are pretty good at fooling ourselves by our perception but let’s try to perceive things in positive way.
