understanding

the best way to understand someone/something is to get close and personal with them.

if you never come into contact with someone/something, it is likely that the perception you have about them has high inaccuracy, this is natually caused by lack of understanding.

there's nothing better than experiencing by yourself, that is, get to know that person pronto or start experiencing the one thing that you thought you will never want to get near to.

most of the time, we experienced some sort of "laziness" to get to the bottom of things, and just accept things as they are presented from the outside.

and most of the time, what presented from the outside does not reflect what is within.

our perceptions are very much influenced by "first impression" that most of us hang onto that impression we have had the first time we come into contact with a particular someone or thing.

sometimes, even before we met someone or thing, we heard about them right?

like maybe from a close friend, classmates, colleagues.

we will then have a perception about the person in question, perception that is given or so to say "transferred" from your friend to us.

and i believe many if not most of you must have experienced this.

when you really get to know this person or thing that is being talked about, you realised he or she or it is not that bad afterall.

the reason to this? just as mentioned earlier, "understanding" plays a big role in this.

perceptions varies individually and therefore when you experienced it yourself, you will have a whole different thinking about some1 or something.

it is easy to understand.

yet, all along our lives, misunderstandings occur.

because sometimes, we are just too lazy to reach out and try to understand.
