Perceptions

I’ve always fancied the dark round spot on my wooden table to be a crunchy choco-chip cookie waiting to be savoured by the industrious Englishman who could finally relish a meal after a toiling day and satisfy his sweet tooth.

However, my assistant Nancy doesn’t concur with me and perceives it to be a dark button that got detached from the cardigan of the lovely Irish girl who was rushing her way from the library, for she was running late for her lectures.

Our conceptions (or rather visualisations) of the mere spot apparently do not meet but does that, in any way, diminish the value of any of our’s outlook? Does that make any of our’s opinion any less significant irrespective of the positions we hold? Certainly not.

Had she nodded her head on my assertion and simply said a yes, she could have easily managed to score some brownie points but she asserted her perspective clearly and willingly.

What should people know?

The very notion that perspectives and outlooks differ in many respects. The way you visualise or imagine things and the way someone else does so might not always converge but it doesn’t depreciate the worth of your or their perception in any way.

Respect yours and Respect theirs.

An author left the ending of their work incomplete to let the readers decide a prospective closing and agree upon the most seemingly acceptable and suitable conclusion on an individual basis. It is up to their interpretations as to what they decide and how they frame and play along with the preceding plot. The conclusions framed are thus distinct.

Interpretations, as well as visualisations, differ and it is often engrossing to know their side.
