Perceptions

If you are not mindful,
you will believe that your perceptions,
which are based on prejudices
that have developed from the seeds of past experiences in your store consciousness,
are correct

When we have a wrong perception and continue to maintain it, we hurt ourselves and others...
We should always ask ourselves, humbly, "Am I sure?' and then allow space and time for our perceptions to grow deeper, clearer, and more stable.

From Thich Nhat Hanh
