Thoughts. Much like everything else.

Perception. What do we hold of it? Is everything really as we see it? Is this shade of green the same for everyone? People will all see it as "Green" because they were taught to see it as green, but perhaps my green looks like my blue, from their perspective.

Fear. A survival trait, or a deeper human emotion? Some fear spiders, while others do not. Once again, a matter of perspective, it is often difficult to rationalize a fear. 

Comfort. Why become comfortable when it all ends the same? We, as humans, live for the moment. We fear the future, the past, and anything else that isn't now. How do we know that what we know to be the "past" is really the past? We know that something happened, but the only reason we know is because we tell ourselves these things. Lying to ourselves is tremendously easy, as anyone who has suffered through a traumatic experience may (or may not) be able to tell you. We percieve what has happened to ourselves, and with no one to check it, it can quite often lead to imperfections.

Art. A reflection of our culture, and how we percieve it. We show changing views about what is accepted, how we percieve the rest of the world around us. It can show us the greatest of joys, or the harshest of fears

Don't get comfortable friends.

That's not exactly what I was talking about.

How do I know what I perceive as red, is the same for everyone else, is what I was trying to say.

I know some people can't see colors, but for those who can, is it same universally? Or is your green different from mine?

for the color part. its the same universally--in reality, yes.

continuing from the previous statement, yea they see the same COLOR as you do...but they jus might've been influenced to see it as something different...but i dont see what point that would make.
EVERYTHING is just persepctive
