Perceptions...

Aren't we all so lucky to have good vision though may experience some impairments that sometimes have to be corrected by using spectacles, contact lenses etc? The human eyes are one of the most remarkable organ in our body. You will certainly agree with me after you watch The Incredible Human Body on Nat Geo with episode on human eye. As eerie as it may sound, our eyes look and see beyond ordinary things...don't worry...I'm not goin to talk about "those things that can be seen by some eyes".


Do you know that we don't use our eyes to see but is actually our brain. Believe it or not, it's true. Our eyes which is some marvellous video cam(or receptors to be scientific) are directly connected to the brain and our brain 'see' beyond the physical appearance of objects thus creating a quality analysis on them known as perception. Our brain discriminates every object we see whether is living or non-living ones but also can be done is just a matter of miliseconds-aka snap images- to the extent such that we generate some sorts of personal feelings in our own way of interpretation. We discriminate because something we see is just not the way they suppose to be. (Please be reminded, "discriminate here is not only apply to way we see things negatively, it is also a way of giving something its quality). See how perception works now? Sometimes it may be good but sometimes it just seems so cruel. How? A simple and direct example would be this...

Perhaps everyone should know who is this lady right and what she did rite? Or these options may help you...

A. A farmer/gardener

B. A teacher/some intellectual

C. A psychiatric patient

D. A talent show participant that made the biggest hits in Britain

If you can't get the answer, you must have been locked inside a cave for quite some time! A perfect example to illustrate what I mean. Perhaps, there's no need to further elaborate rite?

Well, this is life...and I believe all of you must have experience this situation. Another excellent example would be the movie which was this year's hitz...winning plenty of award...a movie that was never expected to achieve such success...It could be said that the odds of finding needle in a haystack would be higher...but there you are...an 13 Oscar award winner(hope I did not make exaggerate mistake in the figure)...Slumdog Millionaire. It'll would be too long also if I were to explain how perception applied in this movie...so I suggest you watch it. I'm really regret for watching this movie so late and I'm totally agree for giving so many award to this movie...a must watch.

So as you can see, people understand the adverse effect of perception and they voice out thru supporting both the two subjects mentioned in great majority. Not to mention this which apply to Barack Obama rite? Yet, we also must understand coins always have two faces. So do perception, there are good and bad perception which our brain automatically signal to us when we see sth. But people still hook on to more of the negative one than the bad one. Agree? Everyone of us discriminate when other give negative perception to others but hello...so do ourselves. Why? Simple. It is already in us. We can remind ourselves or others not to have negative perception at that instant but it is only after we realise. What about before you realise it...it is call snap judgement. So how to mend it? You can't for sure if you don't tune up the conscious part of your brain more. But don't get on it too hard because as just said, it's our nature. This is how we survive. Nothing is perfect in this world.

So, although we can't do much when we perceive something but let not our verbal section of the brain directly connected to it. Otherwise, your perception will bring you great trouble in life. We still have to live life with eye open but strengthen your goodwill and consciousness, something terrible may be just as great as it should not be.
