PERCEPTION


I found an interesting view about perception, created by David Armano. It's a graph called PERCEPTION PYRAMID.
My first impression on seeing the graph was reminder from religion...

"What we think, we become"
                              Buddha
 ...and philosophy :
"We are, what we frequently do"
                                Aristotle
Judging by the graph and referring to the citations I can inffered that perception is a hierarchical system.The foundation is what we think. It's more fundamental  than "what we do" . Actions seem to be less subjective than words, and words more than the views of other people.

PERCEPTION : the process of using the senses to acquire information about the surrounding environment or situation.

The simple definition  tells us, that perception is made up with our senses, which help us to understand the surrounding environment and gather information about thw world.

PERCEPTION IM MY OWN WORDS...
 I associate perception the work of art of Julian Beever, affectionately nicknamed, "Pavement Picasso".



That little boy in the photo is standing on flat pavement. This amazing piece of art gives us an illusion that the boy is standing on the top of high bilding.  Reffering to this, perception is  something what we see, how we interpret this and how to react to external stimuli. It's made up with our senses, our mind, and is connected with our inteligence and imagination. It allows us to see an individual experience of the world.
