Your Perception of the Perception

Think about this… When you think about someone else, and you think about what someone else is doing, do you come up with a perception in your mind about why they are doing what they are doing? Do you conclude, and maybe even think that you know, why they are doing what they are doing and what is their motivation?
 
Now, think about this… Think about a time when you were doing what you were doing—whatever that doing entailed. Think about a time when someone decided that they knew why you were doing what you were doing—what your motivation(s) were. They believed they knew the all and the everything about you, but what they concluded was wrong.
 
Maybe this has happened to you once, twice, or a million times… Maybe it has happened to you never. But, I believe for most of us, we have encountered a situation where an outside individual has made a conclusion about us, but they were partially or completely wrong in their assumption.
 
What does that say about these assumed conclusions? What does that say about another individual’s perceptions? What does that say about anyone making any kind of a conclusion about anybody? What does that say about you and the conclusions you have reached about someone/anyone else?
 
In life, we each develop our own sense of perceptions about other people. We base those perceptions on a million different things: our own mindset, our own beliefs, and mostly our own programming from what we have learned by living life in the society and the time where we find ourselves. But, is the assumed perception of anyone else the true depiction of why an individual does what an individual does or is it simply an idealize judgment made by who we are but not who they are?
 
Have you ever encountered a situation, with another person, where you initially believed you knew what motivated them to do what they did? Have you ever encountered a situation like that where you made up your mind to their reasoning? Then, you told them what you thought, and they told you were wrong. What did you do with that information? Did you change your mind, or did you hold onto to your belief?  If you did not change your mind, what made you believe you know another individual’s interpersonal motivations more than they do/did? Moreover, and this is the big one, what gives you the right to judge and make uninformed conclusions about the life of anyone else anyway?
 
Many people pass through their entire existence based on the something of the someone else. Why? Because they are not whole and complete enough in themselves to allow all others to simple be who they are, living their own perfection to their best of their ability. Many, wish to believe that they are right in all that they know about someone else. But, the fact of the truth be told, no one can ever truly understand a person or their motivations better than the individual themselves.
 
Yes, its’s true, some people are not very in tune with the truth of their being and why they do what they do. They just based their existence upon an undefined definition of Self and life. But, at the end of the day, that is simply who they are. That is the vibratory level that they are exiting within. That is the definition of who they are. You may not like that fact. You can judge that fact. But, no matter how much you try to place you own definitions onto someone else, no matter how much you believe you suppose you know about them, the fact of the fact is, you are not that person. Thus, no matter what self-projected definitions you try to place on them, there is one truth, you will always be wrong.
 
Think about this the next time you believe you know why any individual is doing any thing.
