" Perception : is reality "

Perception is reality in a way because we are living today in society were interacting and relating with others is a sign of survival for success in this world. The perception of what we think might the other people think about us can affect us because its like a mirror and you see those things in you even do its not real. If the that person lived in an environment of love and support his perception of the world will be of success and open-minded because he would had past experiences in his head perceived very well. The person that grows up in a environment of sadness, screaming and dysfunctional , will have his perception of the world like that and might have mental problems. That’s because we might think were like suffering or something but in reality were not so that’s perception .Just as one object may give rise to multiple percepts , there’s an object that may fail to give rise to the perception . If the percept doesn’t have a meaning in the persons experience , he will likely not perceive it . In conclusion perception is reality ? That’s for you to answer.
