I look at someone wearing Famous, and I make gag noises.
Someone looks at me, and thinks I am a total idiot.
Stephanie eats broccoli, and throws up gagging.
My mom used to look at me and thought I was a girl for hanging out with girls over guys.
Pereception: the nice way of saying our "closed minded thoughts" of things.
I perceive things very differently than other people; that's probably what makes me so cool, amirite? :) Nawh, but, seriously. I can remember when I used to perceive things completely differently: my life style, who I hanged out with, what I wore, what I did, what I said -- all was based on pereception.
Old: "Don't say that, they'll think you're weird."
New: "Why not? Too bad if they don't like me; other people will still like me in the end."
In philosophical meanings, I have grown an interest on people perceiving people. My friends. What do others perceive of them? I can blatantly point out who I think is the most normal of them; who's the weirdest; who's the best looking, ETC. But it'd be different for everyone of them, I'm sure.
Now, if someone I don't like talks about my friends, then I will, of course, be the total defensive friend that I am, and murder them relentlessly.
But, on-topic again, my friends? I think most of them are perceived as different. That bodes well with my personality though, so, I don't really care. But if I ever do open my mind for a moment, and see things from another perspective, then I can actually go:
"Wow. People besides me DO actually think and have feelings!"
But that doesn't happen often. Like I said, I love my friends. It's probably due to the fact that I usually hate my family and all of their standards and lifestyle, and need some hearthy feeling when lonesome.
If I hear they does something indisputably horrible to someone else.. I don't think I could get mad at them. Unless, I was good friends with the person who experienced the tragedy as well. Isn't that kind of bad? I cling on to my friends worse than... hm. Can't think of a good sex analogy here. I'll let you perverts think for me instead. ;)
Perception defines life.
Next time you pull a Daniel, and be close minded, try to think openly.
