Perception: in terms of psychology means an individual and unified awareness derived from sensory processes.
The whole concept that each and everyone of us sees things in a slightly different way amazes me.
Our views on the world are like our thumbprints: unique and complex.
Our views about the world and how it should be are unified in a way that enables us to make sense of what we see, hear, smell, taste and feel. It’s believed that as our minds gain knew information we find a way to connect it with something already in our minds.
This leads me to wonder about our society. In the fast-pace technological generation in which I’ve been born, it’s not uncommon to scroll through Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and find at least two or three comments each day about how ‘society sucks’ and that ‘people are messed up’ or that ‘you can’t trust anyone’.
… This saddens me.
Of course, I don’t really know much more about these people than their name, maybe the school they went to or a couple of people they are or were closely associated with… However, I find it hard to believe that they truly have nobody willing to be there for them or nothing to be grateful for.
It’s all about perception.
We can block out the bad things in our lives meaning we also have the ability to block out the goods things too.
Society doesn’t suck. It’s what you make of it.
People aren’t messed up: It’s what you see in them.
You can trust people: but realise mistakes happen, even to the best of us.
Inspired the a quote in the TV Serious Once Upon A Time.
‘Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing.’
