To Perceive Means???


I have been asking myself this question since this morning.I simply understand by this word 'perceive',to be meaning understanding simply.Yes,no complicated understanding.We humans tend to perceive everything with a little bit of complications thrown in.I feel as we grow in perception the simple should become more simple.Instead of that the simple is tending to become more complicated.

We cannot for example give more meanings to an action say exhibiting indifference or arrogance.it is just that the other person does not exactly care for you,when he shows the arrogance or indifference.It is just that.Then why does it have to hurt?Because one expects more from that person.It is also because somewhere the equation is not exactly equal.So the expectation factor comes in.You expect your friend to understand you in a certain way,but she does not.So the inequality produces the friction and imbalance in the friendship,and LO!!! one more break occurs in your life.

This factor called 'expectation' does give that imbalance be it be a familial relationship or social relationship.So what is the solution?Do not expect and do not add this expectation factor to your perception and get heart broken.

Jayamala.
