Perception is reality

@ Morgantaler, it is very thoroughly explained in What the bleep do we know?. I don't know what it is called, or who wrote or interpreted it, but its in there.

A few weeks into my first semester of P101, my professor had us stare at a tree outside and commented for about 5 minutes how we can't really perceive the tree, and what makes it a tree anyways? You probably know the drill, but at the end of his circular dance of a tree, he asked if we could come up with any other perceptions which may not be what they seem.

I shot my arm up, and said, "this class is 90 minutes long, but it seems like 4 hours". He just stared at me with a blank expression.

It was a fun class though, and it does teach you to think outside the box.

Ah, I'll download that and take a look. Only saw a few minutes of it once.

It gets pretty outrageous and boring about 2/3 way through then kind of picks up again. Like it gets bad....

Weee ... I like it all! I love waking up early. I love that first bake with my first coffee. I love watching the sun come up each morning ... brand new day! Another roll around on the big ball. :wink: Full of possibilities!

I like morning o.k. usually. I have some pretty serious chronic pain issues so I wake up to that a lot. :-(

Well, that's makes all the difference. :sad:

I've always been very healthy, (knock knock) ... I hardly ever get a cold or really anything at all. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a doctor. I hope to keep it that way.

That's my perception and I'm sticking to it ... :wink:

I was the picture of health until I got injured. I'm still pretty healthy otherwise but pain takes a hefty psychological toll.

Never take your good health for granted. It usually doesn't last forever. :bigjoint:

Hey, I knocked twice !! :lol:

Yes indeed. Now actually I did injure myself a few years back. Crushed the rotator cup of my shoulder. I went to the emergency room right away, and they said I needed an operation. I said, well, let's see. Never went back, and I'm back to normal. I started my own workout gradually building it back. Those particular operations have dicey results..... as always, I believe in myself. I got her done :lol:

Although technically I wasn't sick, my dog just tried to kill me that's all (football tag)

Good for you. I put off surgery for over 2 years. I didn't want surgery, no way no how! Things just kept getting worse. I couldn't work at all. I got into the proverbial corner. My family was suffering. I had no choice. I'm glad I did it now because I'm much, much better than I was before the surgery. Pain is still everpresent but not nearly as severe. And I tried everything! Alternative treatments, didn't work. Chiropractor, didn't work. Physical therapy, didn't work (although it helped after the surgery). This >bongsmiliehelps a lot!
