9.How two people can see the same thing and interpret it differently?
Why people have different interpretations towards on the same particular thing,
a thing which either an object or a situation?
The above picture is a good example of why people see the same thing but interpret
differently. One person may say these are arches while another may say they are two
pairs of people facing each other.
This is because we have a distinct way of seeing and understanding people,
things or even situations clearly and by intelligently. Though it is our individual ability
of being able to grasp and comprehend the things we are surrounded by, but we do it
different from others because of perception. Our way of understanding is influence by
many factors affecting the way we see things.
One of the factors is our individual experiences in life, just like a roller coaster,
we usually see it as horrible and terrifying ride in the amusement park but with
those who experience, they describe it as gratifying because as they ride on it, it
delighted and gives a keen enjoyment. There are people who cannot appreciate
things unless they have tried it and realized its deep value.

Why people have different interpretations towards on the same particular thing, a thing which either an object or a situation? The above picture is a good example of why people see the same thing but interpret differently. One person may say these are arches while another may say they are two pairs of people facing each other. This is because we have a distinct way of seeing and understanding people, things or even situations clearly and by intelligently. Though it is our individual ability of being able to grasp and comprehend the things we are surrounded by, but we do it different from others because of perception. Our way of understanding is influence by many factors affecting the way we see things. ➔ One of the factors is our individual experiences in life, just like a roller coaster, we usually see it as horrible and terrifying ride in the amusement park but with those who experience, they describe it as gratifying because as they ride on it, it delighted and gives a keen enjoyment. There are people who cannot appreciate things unless they have tried it and realized its deep value.

➔ Another factor is the our family, mostly of our beliefs and values were influenced from our parents depends the way they raise us whether strive simple things or to be at excellent at such many things. Example us about success, other people perceived success as achieving and growing more in terms of wealth, respect or fame. But as of others, it is simply life fulfilment being contented with simply things which have gained throughout your hard-work in life. ➔ Another factor is our peers or our companions in life, they greatly influenced our perception as we grow up and became mature and either it is bad or good. The factors of our perception credited on the fact that we interpret same thing differently, affecting the way we see things and understand it. Most of the time people cannot appreciate thing and it’s value because they don’t see the deep meaning and usefulness. They need to experience, undergo and witness it first to realize the worth of it, other people are sometimes depth-less on understanding things but others are opposite.
