Perception

So... reality is perception. What do you do when someone's perception differs from your own?

If you know you're somewhere but someone never sees you there, then are you there? At what point do you allow other people's perceptions to change your own? Or do you try to change theirs? Of course there's a major issue in that people don't like to tell they're wrong... less so when you just say it instead of making it sound pretty for them.

God knows my ability to put things in a language that people won't rile to isn't exactly the best, but at the same time, I also know if things aren't discussed, problems don't get fixed. I may disagree with a person, but that doesn't change the person I think they are... I can disagree with someone without losing respect for them or caring for them less, but I think people get far too attached to their ideas.

I don't know... it just seems like a good idea to understand other people's positions, for one it can give you more information and insight into your own points of view, but so few people really seem willing to respectfully discuss their opinions. It's like to so many that just because you disagree that you must need to be enemies... I'm not sure why people can't come together on things...
