Are We Really Blind

Our perceptions of realities become clouded
by emotions, intentions, opinions and preservation
This is human nature
We produce our own concepts of reality
This is being unique
But when we base our perceptions
Solely on our own perspectives
we become blind to what is there to see
and restrict our potential to see what is really there

Very philsophical poem.

We do base our perceptions on our own perspectives, our own perspectives are the only ones we grow from our own experiences. We have to trust what others say enough to base perspectives on the experiences they share with us. My reality can't be the same as someone else's unless we shared our thoughts automatically, be kind of interesting if we could eh?

Again, I do agree; yet I can understand why most of us fail to see what is really there. We're subject to human limitations and relying on that alone (human nature/abilities) makes it hard if not impossible to see beyond the physical aspect plonked in front of us.
