Perception

Perception. I'm sure there are many more interesting items of note that could be discussed on this fine day, but on this fine day, I can't think of any.
Other people's perceptions of you are primarily what they use to judge you. Wether it is done in a nice way or a not so nice way it's still judgement. Although these perceptions can sometimes be accurate, they are far more often invariably not. The problem with people's perceptions is that they are quite usually ruled by stereotypes, second hand information and assumptions. And as Samuel L Jackson has taught any good boy or girl, we all know what happens when you make an assumption. And fifty sparkling points go to you if you can pick the film reference there. S.H.

But then again, some people perceive others just so they have an idea as to whom the person might be. Some assumptions are made just for the sake of trying to find out about the others.

No clue about the film. Could I get the fifty points anyway? Sparkly things are cool:)

Until then.

Didn't get the refrence - right now my day would probably be saying "Stupid - vee vatch dat vun!"
Perception is a relative thing, just like beauty. Everyone perceives you differently. But at the end of the day, how does this all matter? The only thing that matters is how one percieves his or her self.

You've got the point beautifully. Perception is only something that effects you if you let it. I rather choose no to ... can you tell? :)
