Perception and Reality

"If I am I because I am I.
And you are you because you are you,
Then I am and you are.

But if I am I because you think I am
And because of what you think I am,
you are you because I think you are
Then, I am not and you are not."

- Quek, 2007
(adapted from Rabbi Medel of Kotsk, 1787 - 1859)


Perception is just an illusion. It may be the truth sometimes but not always. And because of one's perception of another person, it cause the other person's the have a perception of the person due to his/her perception of himself.

It is confusing in what I am saying...... in another words, I am just trying to say, perceptions can be a continuum cycle on how we view things/people and if the perception is not the truth, then it will cause more illusions.....
