you know how first you see this person and you feel like you really like the person because of the person's looks? And then as you get to know the person, you find out other habits the person has (bad habits mainly) and suddenly feel like you were cheated? (As in cheated by the person's looks and whatnot)
This is an example of a perception gone wrong
First, you perceive the person to be cute and innocent from the person's looks and actions.
Next, you would perceive that because the person is cute and innocent, therefore, the person does not have bad habits like smoking, drinking, gambling, and maybe smaller bad habits like not flushing after using the toilet or something lah BUT has good habits like is a nice, kind, loving person instead (bad habits may include things that you hate in others and good attributes would be those you would like in a person; therefore this part is mainly a personal thing)
So after you have all these nice perceptions of that person you will like the person more (because they don't have habits which you hate in a person right?)
Then one fine day, you find out the person let's say smokes or drinks or gambles or something and because you have highly percepted that person to be SOOOOOOO good, this news suddenly kills your perception and you start wondering if there are other bad habits about this person you don't like and you go like "yer, i didn't know he/she is that kind of a person"
Now, the lesson to learn here is to always know that perceptions are not truth and never rely on your perceptions to conclude on people on situations.
okay, back to business, i heard rw is a heavy drinker (well 4th in among the 13) oh well, perceptions have to change~ sighs
