I pondered changing the title of this blog today to eliminate the word "partial", however, I find it fitting after some thought. Normally, one would see "Your perception is my reality" or some mix thereof. I disagree with this, in that, as I'm suggesting this: What you perceive is another individuals' reality or is it? What you see may only be part of the truth, all of it, or none of it. With this said, there is no logical basis to calculate the validity of one's perception over that of an individual standing, say, across the street that you have never met.
So, as we can see, there are many variables to determine the reality of another. My reality is an assessment of that which I think I know. Since there really isn't a method to give absolutes to an assessment without actually engaging the subject, then there is no surety to be had. One can only surmise by the factors surrounding the object in question as to what is really happening or what attributes appear to affect it by such reality we have learned based on our own bias.
With significant certainty, we can now implicate the term "partial" into our objective hypothesis by stating "Perception *is* partial reality" given it "fits" what we can say we know, but may not necessarily know.
Now here is a question for you: What do you think the title "Perception is partial reality" means, or more precisely, what does it mean to you?
