Misperceptions of People

Here we are in the so called “Age of Information” yet morally and intellectually we are still using variations of the same superstitions of the past thousands of years as evident by the perceptions and opinions we carry around. I will not use some of the phrases thrown around since it will directly offend some. You know the karma will get you! (oops)
We ignore facts and rely on perceptions borne of class and ignorance. We have the data at our fingertips but ignore the facts and stick to whim in all phases of life and all social and racial lines. The sad thing is people cease to hone the powers of perception beyond the formative years. We make some small adjustments but mostly make the same judgments in different arenas.
In other words we will not make the exact same mistake over again but will repeat the same error over and over. For instance when you were young you may have played a lot of childish games of some type and thought to try something daring but it didn’t work out and actually turned out to be foolish. Well you will never make that mistake again!
What if the same type of logic you used then to make that foolish error during the game leads you to do something even more foolish later in life? Yet your perception of yourself is because you have a job, children or other responsibilities is that you are more mature person. Yet your baseline logic and actions have not changed, you are making the same mistakes in a different arena. Have you actually matured or just gotten older?
Peope let’s use our powers of perception more fully and look at actions and facts not BS.
