Truth...

Once, the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket.
The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?"
"He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil.
"That is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend.
"Oh, not at all," the devil replied, "I am going to let him organize it."

Perception...

Perception(by definition) is limited..always.

Do you assume(or believe) everything whatever you clearly see that goes on directly in front of your eyes..? I believe...most of it is simply not true.

It's easy to...not only influence people's thinking...but also influence their very perception.

Magicians/movie makers do it..and so do propagandists.
The primary tool of the propaganda system (also known as "the media/news") is misdirection.. making you pay attention to the wrong things...

So, the challenge should not be to perceive everything..but to perceive what's important.

Inevitable...

What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we cant decipher. What we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables. There is only the inevitable.
