I was having my IPC (Instructor Preparation Course) in camp when something on the lecture slides caught my attention and my mind started drifting away. Eventually, it rested on this phrase "Everything is based on perception".
How true is that?
Of course, very true (DUH, why would i say no... 'cos that's what my mind ended up concluding). But why do I say that it's true?
Let me give you some examples.
I think Tamil language is the coolest language on earth and english is not an easy language afterall.
I think dance is not for sissies only and to understand a dance form you need a level of artistic intelligence.
I think Bharathanatyam is the hardest form of dancing yet is the basic.
How many people agree to those statements above and how many disagree? How many people have different opinions about it? How many people see those issues differently?
Without doubt, everyone will have different perception of everything. To me, an ant can be something small but powerful. To another person, the same ant could be a pest. To another person, that same ant can be the cutest creation that GOD ever came up with (which is so unlikely that anyone will ever think such).
So what am i trying to get at?
Well, given that people see things differently, when you see something/ an issue with a different perception from others, do not change it just to fit into the society. Stand up for what you feel, as long as u have reasons to justify why you perceive it such. Don't be a 'gundu' and stand up for it, not knowing why. That's stupidity!
I personally believe in working with my heart and not my mind (i think i have blogged about this last week or so). So when i perceive something that differs from the rest and when i get weird reactions from people because i say something, i sit and think. Why? Does my viewpoint make sense at all? And why does it not fit into others' viewpoint? Sometimes, after a while, it does seem totally absurd and so my viewpoint might change afterall. But sometimes,i end up thinking that my perception is not at all wrong. And i find for reasons to substantiate my viewpoint itself. Haha. Sometimes, it just becomes a mentally drafted GP essay.
And to all those who are reading my blogs. I ain't posting all these to tell you guys to follow this and that, Im just merely stating what i feel and if you feel that it's something good and interesting and my fit your lifestyle or you wanna try it out, go ahead. And if you feel that im just bullshitting (like i even care whether u think such. haha), go ahead and slam it in my tagboard. I love debates!
