<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thornton, post: 8249845, member: 105289&quot;]Not intending to be argumentative, just making an observation.&nbsp; This is not intended as an attack.&nbsp; (BTY, I&#039;m one of those old folks who&#039;ve been around long enough to remember when it was what someone meant, not what you thought they meant).&nbsp; My comment relates to your opening sentence, quoted above. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unless your talking about spending your hard earned dollars on a great looking coin or picking out a thick steak at the market, when it comes to a conversation or comment, I would have to say that &quot;perception is everything&quot; is a false statement.&nbsp; Albeit believed by far to many people today.&nbsp; It makes an assumption and ignores the intent of the other party.&nbsp; I believe this unstable world we find ourselves in today has much to do with an over emphasis on &quot;perceptions&quot; fueled by and in social media. </p><p><br /></p><p>In my mind, it isn&#039;t &quot;everything&quot; but far too many people believe that it is.&nbsp; When one believes that what they perceive something to be, is everything, aren&#039;t they really making it all about themselves.&nbsp; This path quickly leads to narcissism.&nbsp; It feeds ones belief or feeling that their opinion can only be correct and anything else must be incorrect. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, no comment on you personally, just my observation of a phrase.&nbsp; If you disagree, that&#039;s fine too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
