Let's talk about perception. Sometimes we perceive things a certain way,
and we probly think that's the way it is. Like, think of some thing.
Anything. Think of how you perceive it. Is that the way it really is? Or
is that the way we (you, really) perceive it? It might not be like that at
all. It might be totally different than the way we perceive it, but because
we are humans (humans are dumn) we think the way it is is the way it is
because that's the way we perceive it. Variables can effect (affect?) our
perception.

Take, for example, the place where I used to work. There's this big, HUGE
window in the mailroom that spans the entire wall. I remember going in that
room and it was always hot to me. The midday sun would shine in that big
window all day, (the sun coming through the window is what causes the
heat!), making it uncomfortable for me to go in there for extended amounts
of time (especially when I'm thirsty, or when I have to poop). I always
perceived this room as the "hot room."

Well, won time I was there at night. I just so happened to be in the
mailroom, just nosing around and going through other people's mail, and I
noticed how cold it was in there. The cold, night air "seeped" through the
big window all night making the room cold. Then it occurred to me: somewon
who works at night might perceive this room as the "cold room" whereas I
perceived it as the "hot room." I no longer work there, but I still always
think about how I wrongly perceived the room based on my own biased
assumptions. Just like all of YOU.

Well, I am really making you guys think today, aren't I? I hope this post
makes everywon think about the way we perceive things, and think that other
people might perceive the same thing differently. If we all think this way
we would all get along swimmingly from now on. I'm like a teacher, (or to
use the Indian term, "guru") and you all are my students. I hope you all
will look up to me as the greatest living mind who ever existed. Now if you
will excuse me, I have to go poop. I love you all.

Love,
Wavy G.

We can look at you however we want...it's how you percieve our opinions of
you that matters. As long as *you* think that we think you're the greatest
living mind blah blah blah, then all is well, no?

Well, my son, I am Wavy G. I am God's "special lamb" if you will. No, I'm
not saying I'm like Jesus Christ or anything. But rather, I am just another
regular "joe" like the rest of yous. However, God has forseen the state of
the world today, and he knows that he cannot do all the work on his own.
So, that's why he sent me, Wavy G. Just won of the "sheep"--a regular
person like everywon else, but won who is just a little special. Won who is
smarter, purer, more pious, more inculpable, better dressed (etcetera,
etcetera) than the rest. I am Wavy G. I am here to save the world. I am
God's chosen won. Follow me, sheep. I will lead the way. I love you all.

Love,
Wavy G.

Wavygism? Wavy G, have you gone and started yourself a new religion?
Congratulations! You'll find it to be very profitable. Especially if you
make yourself the prophet. Might I suggest that you require your converts
to donate a portion of their salary to the church every month? Isn't
capitalism great???

yes, perception determines one's reality... everyone has a skewed
perception to some extent, some people to a greater extent...

the real kicker is, the more ones perception is skewed the harder it is
to make them see that it is...

if someone truly believes something then often they'll continue to
believe it even if you provide evidence to the contrary...

No "might" about it; they do. I've seen this called "experiential
differentiation", which is pretty cumbersome but also descriptive, and I
don't know of any *simple* way to encapsulate the perception you express
above. It is not, however, a perception available to very young people
or the permanently immature, who perceive the possibility of other
understandings the world than their own as deeply threatening. Your post
will only waken positive echoes among the relatively mature among us
(who don't need a "guru" because gurus are there to help the immature
along, not to teach those who are already aware). The rest will
continue to reject everything that is not completely "me" centered, and
those are, in my experience, the vast majority of posters to the net.
You perceived my post incorrectly. Please re-read and try again.
But thanks for cheery, nice try.

Yes perception is everything.
If you walk out into a busy highway with your eyes open and you see
a car coming at you, you will perceive it and you will be hit and bones will
smashed, limbs torn off, internal organs ripped apart.
But if you close your eyes Wavy, and don't see any cars, you will be
perfectly safe and happy as you step out onto the busy road infront of
oncoming cars - YOU WILL BE PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT because perception is
everything..yes, go ahead now.... that's it, nothing to worry about...

we are humans (humans are dumn) we think the way it is is the way it is

room and it was always hot to me. The midday sun would shine in that big
window all day, (the sun coming through the window is what causes the
heat!), making it uncomfortable for me to go in there for extended amounts
of time (especially when I'm thirsty, or when I have to poop). I always
perceived this room as the "hot room."

Yes perception is everything.
If you walk out into a busy highway with your eyes open and
you see a car coming at you, you will perceive it and you will be
hit and bones will smashed, limbs torn off, internal organs ripped
apart. But if you close your eyes Wavy, and don't see any
cars, you will be perfectly safe and happy as you step out onto the
busy road infront of oncoming cars - YOU WILL BE PERFECTLY ALL
RIGHT because perception is everything..yes, go ahead now....
that's it, nothing to worry about...
OK, I wasn't going to worry about it. I won't be on it.

Let's talk about perception. Sometimes we perceive things a
certain way, and we probly think that's the way it is. Like,
think of some thing. Anything. Think of how you perceive it. Is
that the way it really is? Or is that the way we (you, really)
perceive it? It might not be like that at all. It might be
totally different than the way we perceive it, but because we are
humans (humans are dumn) we think the way it is is the way it is
because that's the way we perceive it. Variables can effect

Heh, I've thought about this kind of stuff before. The other day I was
pondering and thought about this for a long time: Since people have
different tastes in music, art, tv, etc. Isn't it entirely possible that
they have these views because their eyes, ears, etc. are different?

One person likes the color red, another likes the color blue. Isn't it
totally possible that two people see different colors with their eyes
yet have grown up calling them the same thing. So what if *my* red was
the same as *your* blue, And my red and your blue were actually green?

yet have grown up calling them the same thing. So what if *my* red was
the same as *your* blue, And my red and your blue were actually green?
So, basically you're just saying the same thing I did, but differently.
Yeah, thanks for that. I appreciate you stealing my idea. JERK.
The way I saw it he was supporting your thoughts with a few of his
own. Actually I think everyone else who replied was mocking you. They
were the only person in this thread to support you and you went and
called them a jerk. I guess it IS all in perception.

That last statement should have been a question.

No, it was a statement. I was just trying to emphasize my point. It would
be like saying, "Man, is 'a dog' ever a DICK." You see?

Let's talk about perception. Sometimes we perceive things a certain way,
and we probly think that's the way it is. Like, think of some thing.
Anything. Think of how you perceive it. Is that the way it really is? Or
is that the way we (you, really) perceive it? It might not be like that at
all. It might be totally different than the way we perceive it, but because
we are humans (humans are dumn) we think the way it is is the way it is
because that's the way we perceive it. Variables can effect (affect?) our
perception.
Take, for example, the place where I used to work. There's this big, HUGE
window in the mailroom that spans the entire wall. I remember going in that
room and it was always hot to me. The midday sun would shine in that big
window all day, (the sun coming through the window is what causes the
heat!), making it uncomfortable for me to go in there for extended amounts
of time (especially when I'm thirsty, or when I have to poop). I always
perceived this room as the "hot room."
Well, won time I was there at night. I just so happened to be in the
mailroom, just nosing around and going through other people's mail, and I
noticed how cold it was in there. The cold, night air "seeped" through the
big window all night making the room cold. Then it occurred to me: somewon
who works at night might perceive this room as the "cold room" whereas I
perceived it as the "hot room." I no longer work there, but I still always
think about how I wrongly perceived the room based on my own biased
assumptions. Just like all of YOU.
Well, I am really making you guys think today, aren't I? I hope this post
makes everywon think about the way we perceive things, and think that other
people might perceive the same thing differently. If we all think this way
we would all get along swimmingly from now on. I'm like a teacher, (or to
use the Indian term, "guru") and you all are my students. I hope you all
will look up to me as the greatest living mind who ever existed. Now if you
will excuse me, I have to go poop. I love you all.
Love,
Wavy G.
That was lovely and heartwarming but I think that you also have to
look at the governing laws of science and not perception. The sun
provides the earth with heat and all of those rays of sunshine coming
through the mail room window is going to make the temperature of said
room elevate thus at night when the factor of heat from the sun is
taken away, the room will then be at a lower temperature, that is a
fact of science.
Now, as for preception, lets say you are enjoying a nice day, sitting
on a park bench and you see a guy (that you don't know) haveing a
violent argument with a fire hydrant. You would then say to yourself,
this guy is a weirdo or maybe even mentally ill. See, all you have
seen of this man is his display of anger toward a fire hydrant and you
make assumptions and precieve him as weird.
now lets say the day before someone other than you had seen the same
man at the grocery store purchasing a loaf of bread and being friendly
with the cashier and his fellow shoppers. now they may assume that is
an ordinary, mentally sound member of the community. now the people
make assumptions and precieve him as just your average joe buying a
loaf of bread.
my point? your scenario is a proven fact of nature
my other point? Stay away from people who talk to fire hydrants
