Perception

So perception is based on experience.  Individuals can share the same experience and still walk away with a different perception of what happened based upon their life experiences up to that point.  Our experiences shape our perception of reality and each individual walking around has a different perception than anyone else.  Neither is wrong or right…just different.  Judging folks for having a different life history and therefore perception from yours is your loss, since you lose an opportunity every time you shut someone else out of possibly enlightening your scope of understanding yourself.  Even if in listening to someone else’s perception confirms what you already thought, you still will have gleamed a new level of understanding of either life or at the very least yourself and why you do or do not think a certain way about a certain thing.
