Perception vs. Reality
Tyler B
Essay
What Is the Difference between Perception and Reality? Perception and reality are two completely different ideas, they are accepted as they are understood and acted upon what is seen. Perception is how a person can see something whereas reality is how things actually are. For example, if you are driving and see the car in from of you, your perception would be that they are drunk driving but when they get pulled over by the police down the road, reality would say that the person was having a diabetic seizure. Most people have different perception but we all have the same reality. One person would think that someone is drunk driving while the other thinks that the driver is just messing around with his kids. In the cartoon, there is a man stranded on an island and a man in a boat approaching the island. They both shout out “I’m saved!” but in fact the man on the island is tired of being there and the man on the boat is tired of being at sea. They both have the idea that if they switch places they will be in a better position but will soon turn out to be in the same position as the other person. As I stated earlier, people have a different perception on certain things but the reality will always be the same. The meaning of this picture, in my opinion, is that people can see things from their point of view and act upon it differently than another person in the same position. They can have different thoughts, ideas, even actions but in the end they will end up doing almost the same thing. The man on the island is excited to go on the boat to try and get home but after being on that boat for a while he will realize that he would much rather on the island. The man on the boat approaching the island is excited to get off the boat but will soon realize he would rather be with the other person so he is not alone. The difference is what is real versus what is seen.
