Perception

in life •  7 years ago 

In life there are a lot of perceptions. Perceptions are reality, and that is based up on beliefs. We have the tendency as humans to look at things in only one logical way. Well, logic and reason and emotions are very different and have impact on our reality. If you think you can go through life being all logical then I would say you might be living with a card board box mentality. That means you compartmentalize and box things in with logic. We are emotional creatures, and we have logic, not one or the other. You can't logic your way through life. Reason along with emotions are needed.

The stroop effect feel free to say the colors of the words out loud and tell me if you have any confusion! This is lesson one on the ability to discern things. You brain wants to say one thing and the mind wants to realize another.

Are these people or banisters? One or the other?

Feel free and comment on the illusions. This is a good point that life is not always what it seems. We drag our perceptions through filters of good and bad, and there are grey areas in life.
