We all look at the world through filters and biases that cause us to see things in our own way. So, your perception of the world is different than mine and everyone else’s. Interestingly, we seldom think about this. Instead, we tend to believe there is an objective reality that everyone sees in the same way. But it is just not true according to Dennis Proffitt, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and author of the book Perception: How Our Bodies Shape Our Minds (https://amzn.to/3TvRsjU).
