Perceptions…

© Apoorv Vikas

Is there a universality to perceptions?
Can there be?
What is a perception?
Is it not a result of a reaction to something from the psyche?
Is psyche not a structure of lifelong chain sequence of experiences and responses?
Are these experiences and responses not unique to the individual?
So isn’t perception and reaction unique to the individual?

Isn’t it insane to stubbornly demand that others should agree to our opinions?
Wouldn’t life be more comfortable if we all realise and accept that what we think and believe about something has its own limits, defined by the approach we use to look at things?
Wouldn’t it be saner to accept that our beliefs have no universal suitability; that different people will always have different opinions about same thing and they’re entitled to those opinions?

What is maturity?
Isn’t it about accepting that we can coexist along with differences in our opinions?
