Perception.

I actually titled this one. Perception: The ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. Life is all about perception. Now some of you may disagree with that, but that's your perception of life. My point is that what one person thinks could be different from another person. But another important factor is to know that no one is wrong in what they perceive. For example, there's this girl at my school who's a foreign exchange student and this other girl who's a little snooty. Now the foreign exchange student saw her and her friends (even though they hate each other) laughing and she thought they were laughing at her, that was her perception. The girl claimed she wasn't and told the foreign exchange student to shut up. Here's more perception, I thought the girl was being snobby and could have handled it a little better, a little nicer, which I told her. She, in turn, told me to shut up too. Which led the teacher to lecture us about how different cultures perceive and think things differently than we do. Perception affects life in so many ways.
