Interpretation

The way I see it, the way you interpret things is greatly influenced by your past experiences. Past experiences shape the way you see every single thing around you, no matter how small or trivial the subject is. If you have grown to view the world in a certain way, you are likely to continue to believe and further that view. Differing experiences influence on interpretation is easily depicted in the scenario of two people beside each other watching the same event happen and coming away from it with two different opinions on what happened, and why.
