Perception is more important than Reality
Perception: “The way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression.”
Reality: “The world or the state of things as they actually exist… existence that is absolute, self-sufficient, or objective, and not subject to human decisions or conventions.”
The problem is that the lens through which we perceive is often distorted in the first place by our genetic predispositions, past experiences, prior knowledge, emotions, preconceived notions, self-interest, and cognitive distortions.
Perception acts as a lens through which we view reality.
Just like we can take pictures and adjust the way the picture looks through different lenses or filters so we can adjust our perception through certain deliberate filters that we can use in looking at the situations and circumstances
There are some filters I have discovered which I can deliberately apply to my Perception of things and circumstances to give me another view of it.
