Perception is, truly, everything. Our childhood, our community, and our environment shape to how we see the world. We evaluate our surroundings because of who we are. Subjection can never be ruled out completely. Biases creep in our heads and mess up our eyes. As each person is different, so are our views.
What I think of a quote can, and probably will be, different from what you think it means. But this doesn’t mean that we can’t share our views with each other. In fact, we can grow from hearing opinions that differ from our own. Our mind expands and our understanding of others deepens. In ancient times Greek philosophers met at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) in Athens. These philosophers were not always from the same school of philosophy and were often at odds with one another. But they continued meeting and sharing their views with one another. Likewise we can learn from others if we try to see them as they are and not what we perceive them to be.
