Perception is the process by which people translate their impressions in a clear,logical and unified view of the world around them. Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison.
Three years ago my friend and myself decided to go to the countryside to see how people live there. Since we woke up in the morning we felt very excited as we haven't been to the countryside before.We arrived there around ten o'clock in the morning; we decided to have a walk by the canal and enjoy the fantastic nature. While walking we felt the beauty scene of the greenery throughout the sight. I felt how lucky the people who live there are. As we were walking we saw a young boy staring at us. we went close to the young boy and said hello , we had a quick chat with him and he knew that it is our first visit to the countryside so he invited us to his home.
Since we reached his home, we felt the warmth and generosity of his family, they received us in a wonderful way and insisted that we have lunch with them. We had a long talk with the young boy's nuclear family, they mentioned that their dream is to move to the city and live there for the rest of their life. They wished to live in a prodigious apartment; would like to go to the movies ,visit the pyramids, benefit from all the facilities in the city that they are deprived from in the countryside. On the other hand we told them that they are luckier from us, I told them that they live in the beautiful nature and clear weather, the euphony of the birds and the beautiful greenery and they breathe clean fresh air. On the contrary we live in the city in a building surrounded with other huge buildings, we breathe polluted air from exhausts coming out of cars and buses. Finally they were convinced by our point of view and thanked God for what they have and then we left them. This story shows us the disparity between people's perception.
