Emotions In order to determine the source of an issue, it helps to examine the situation from a new perspective.
You can create a makeshift viewing port by folding your arms inside and forming a circle with your index and thumb. It will become clear that the image's borders define the image in issue. In order to make sense of reality, we must sacrifice our conceptual framework. Observing a tree leaf under a microscope is very different from observing a tabletop.
At any one time, what we perceive is a function not only of what is around us, but also of personal preference. What's in front of you, what you can see, is much more expansive than the picture we cover with a glimpse through a frame from folded hands. The "reality" in front of us can be altered by "focusing" on a different section of the sight.
What we perceive via a narrow aperture is a reflection of the "real" world, but our interpretation of reality involves selective perception. And the fact that our vision is enhanced by seeing through the space between our thumb and index finger rather than a narrow pane. Therefore, what we see and how we interpret it form the basis of our picture of perception.
