Everybodies perception is different

Anyone who isn't narrowminded understands that in a perfect world, perceptions and individual differences will be totally and 100% accepted without criticism, unless it can cause harm ot unnatural changes to another person, or the person that one cares about.
(by unnatural changes, I mean causing a personality change, which was never part of an individuals true self - this will be difficult considering the levels of influence everybody on Earth is put through from the day that they are born - but if a persons perception and personality changes within a matter of months not years, it should be regarded suspicious and harmful, because even mindful adults can be controlled by infuence and made to beleive that they are not influenced and are in fact free thinkers when they are not)

But this thread isn't about all that.

This thread is a getting to know you thread, or rather... getting to know your perception.

You see, people make friends with individuals that have a similar perception in 1 area, and then they make friends with other people who have a different perception in another area of life you like... for example... you are a football enthusiast, so you find others who have the same level of perception of footbal as you do - the same team that they like, the amount of time they like to watch it and so forth, are all similar so you all make arrangments to share this perception regularly.
But these friends are not the same friends who share your perception with say for example, your love for gardening and spending time in allotments... but you have a seperate band of friends for that activity too. Because you all, somehow have the same level of perception about the things you like to another person, this is what builds the bond.

It is when you are a individual in many areas of life, and suddenly find a group of people that are like you in every sense of YOUR world which is YOUR perception in the whole universe, that should bring caution to worry... as it is these groups which can cause mindless influence, and you will be so consumed in the idea that they are your soul group in every sense of your life, that you will not see the dangers, until many months down the lines, that you start loosing interests in the things you once loved, for the things that suit the group, because you will suddenly think it was a natural faze - despite you maintaing your old habits for 20 or 30yrs.

So this thread was created in the sole intent of bringing a getting to know you game into the equation.

What the meaning of this is... to see how everybodies perceptions change with different vocal points of the thread... and you can talk about anything... ask about anything to any member you like... and you dont have to hold back on what you want to ask... you can ask menial things like... what does the color orange, represent to you, how does it make you feel and what are your linking thoughts with that word? For example... do you associate oraneg, with oranges the flavor of the fruit juice, the sun, sunflowers, a nice dress you wore to a cocktail party and so forth.

Be deep with your answers, but be honest to your self... even talk about the history of the word to your mind and perception if you want to.

The object of the thread is to get to know you... but also help you know your self, and find friends with similar enthusiasms as your self.

Because I know a lot of people who think that their perceptions are not normal and that they themselves are weird or freakish... if anything, this thread will help you all over come your lack of confidence and realise that you are completely normal, because you are all different... and that is the beauty inside of each and everyone of us!

DO NOT LET ANYONE TAKE THAT BEAUTY IN SIDE OF YOU!

Because people will strip you of this beauty in ways you think unmaginable, even kind words, even beautiful words can slowly make the true inner you UGLY.

Words such as, you don't know your true self... but I do... words which will cause mental disharmony in you own mind... such as... having a go at you because you show ego, when in fact ego is a self assurance, an assertiveness, an inner confidence which will help you feel good about being you... if anybody tells you this is wrong, then THEY are the ones that are wrong and THEY are the ones that will fail in their life, because THEY are not the ones who have the strength of character and understanding of self worth to grab life by the balls, and keep their life precious and fulfilled!
Inner happiness, peace and confidence, will make you transcend a lot farther, than if you are lowly and humble about your own worth!
Believe me... not a man alive on this earth is happy and healthy on humble pie!
It is the people on Earth who know their self worth that have riches more than anyone else can imagine (AND NO, this is not based on materialism, I am on about pridefulness in who they are and the people around them that make them happy too)
Just look at tribes... they have nothing materially but the forests they are raised in... they have a different perception to us urban folk... they have the self confidence to let themselves go and be free and fight for that freedom! You can learn a lot from them.

So go ahead... play the game... find out about you!

So... what do you see when you sit in the dark?

Perception deception whats your direction
