Perception

You will tell me about your perception of life and I will tell you mine. We’ll argue over it for a while. If you don’t manage to convince me, I will continue to live with my perception of life. If you manage to convince me, I will begin living with your perception of life.

While descending the timeline, I will meet new people and have similar arguments with them. I’ll read a number of books and learn more about different perceptions. Again, based on whether I am convinced or not, based on whether I am impressed or not, I will switch, modify, or strengthen my perception. If I strengthen my perception, I will label it ‘Experience’.

Similarly, I will have my own perception of a certain person, God, religion, right, wrong, good, bad, beauty, peace, wisdom and almost anything abstract, which practically includes everything. I will spend a major part of my life debating over what the ‘right’, ‘convenient’ or ‘acceptable’ perception is and at the same time I will aggressively fight for my perception to be accepted, even better, applauded. I will, almost always refrain from changing my perception.

I might, at some point, realize that all of this is just a perception and is as abstract and insignificant as it sounds. Then on, I will not feel the need to discuss life, death and God but observe life, accept death and create my masterpiece- God!
