People are Blinded by Reality!

It is frustrating when you see something clearly, and others are blinded to the reality you see. How can this be? An accident with a number of witnesses is a great example of our perception of reality. Ten eyewitness to an accident, ten different interpretations of the accident, some vary greatly. We are limited by our mind and experiences in our interpretations.

People speak their opinions as though they were truths. What is the truth in any situation?  The truth is a battle of perceptions. People can only see the world through their eyes. Thus, reality and truth are limited to a persons mind and to their small part of the world. People can only see what they are prepared to confront. Reality and truth are often observed but rarely seen since most individuals are incapable of seeing the truth. The truth has a way of getting lost when battled against someone dreams or their perception of reality.

It takes an extremely intelligent person that can sort out their opinion or viewpoint from facts. Our opinions are formed from emotions and our interpretations of facts. We are limited in our interpretations by our minds, experiences, and emotions. Reality or truth is often skewed by the limitations of our minds and emotions. People often confuse facts with their opinion.

Facts are distinguished from opinion since facts are verifiable. The problem arises when people are incapable of seeing facts. It is not what you look at that matters, but what you see. The truth has a way of getting lost when battled against someone dreams or their perception of reality. It has often been said people are blinded by reality.
