Each person in this world precieves things differently. What one person may see as enlightenment, another will see it as a waste. "Humans are social animals", (Socrates) and by nature we want people to precieve things the way we see the world. That is where the politics and attitudes of people arise out of perseption. For example, There are many people in the world who have never seen a masterpeice be Van Gogh. The indepth details in his art and three dimisional drawings may only be viewed by the trained eye. If you took someone who has never viewed art before, they would not see the depth of the work but, they would only see a flat image on a page, never knowing the details of the art.
There are as many ways to precieve things as there are people, take politics for instance, People try to presaude others into voting for them so they can run a nation the way they believe it should be ran. The social world is politics, so in order to get anything done, one must presaude other's into believing what they believe in. Basically, we in a constant state of infinante perseptions. Our preseptions of the world can change in a second. Advise to those with absolute minds," you don't get very far in a social world without altering your perseoption to others". Meaning, if we can't see the other person's perspective then an idea goes to waste and we get nothing done. Everyone has their perseption of the world but in order to get things done we must be open minded to others, as well as the change in our own.
The images of truth are different in the eyes of each person. There can be no one absolute way of viewing anything. Take for example, a Three dimensional art image.In the eyes of someone who has been conditioned to see the depth of the art, can comprehend the image. They would view a man walking through trees as opposed to seeing a man walking down the trail.
Each different perpective is view can be seen as a diffent type of truth. No one person should take only there perspective to trive in a socity. It is key to view things librally. Ingnorance and misunderstandings could be seen more diplomatically, if people would not just take what they see as truth.All sides of truth must be coveed to obtain the structure of viewing the world. If everyone worked each perpective, a lot of the basic problems of the world could be solved.
