Fly Away said it best, I think it was something like 90% perception and 10% circumstance?
I believe this completely.
That's not exactly what I said. I said 90% circumstance, 10% how you deal with it.
no wait, i said 10 percent circumstance, 90 percent how you deal with it, sorry i'm like all over the place!
Like a schitzophrenic (I KNOW I butchered that word, sorry) Their sense of reality is so freaking twisted, yet the outside world doesn't change.
But in terms of reality, does this mean that their reality (which is their perception) is any less real simply because it is not "real" for everyone else?
Well there's 'Objective' Reality: A solid is solid, all triangles have 3 sides.
There's Scientific Reality: E=mc^2
Then there's Psychological Reality: I only scored 80% on my test, I am a useless person / I scored 80% on my test, I really tied hard and did well!
There's sensory perception: The truck is Red
Then there's emotional perception: She looks upset, it is because she hates me / She looks upset, I bet she needs me to cheer her up / She looks upset, I better give her some space.
Your perception of and responses to subjective reality affect your life and translate into objective changes in your life.
But no matter how you perceive it, a red truck is red.
