Perception IS Reality.

Perception is the way in which an individual sees the world. The brain is so powerful that is able to store memories and necessary skills so that the person can survive. These memories or experiences are what help and make each of us different from another even though we see the same thing or hear the same thing. This suggests an explanation for why some people are passionate about some things and other people are just not interested. The way we see the world is important because only we can appreciate it, we are unable to make others see the world as we do. Which is why the phrase "perception is reality" comes to be true. As we cannot see the world as others do. Our brain just takes in information, connects it to our experience and thats why we decide if we like something or not. For example, when we encounter an image that has different shapes, our brain automatically tries to work out what the object could be and when it finds a shape, that is what we see. However, there are some ways in which perception can be tricked and we see distorted images or images which are not what they look like.
