Perception is truth
It also signified that there was a notice on my wall and if you have perceived it then it is in fact there.
And that's the problem with perceptions. People see something and it is implanted in their minds.
And society copies what they perceive as the norm. Whenever people describe themselves in Dating or Match-Making websites they often gloss over the unflattering truth and describe themselves better than they really are.
As a young man I sent a dating agency one of my real life photos (untouched and not changed in any way). They returned it with a note saying: "We're not that desperate!"
Eventually I managed to get a date with a young lady through another agency. When I met the lady in question she said I did not look like the photo on the dating website. She said the photo looked as if it had been drawn by Picasso, and added, "I thought you had a cricked neck. And why in the photo do you have an ear on your forehead?"
I told her that as a fan of Star Trek this was the Final Front Ear!
Mind you, she was no picture of beauty herself. In fact she was so ugly that I guess Peeping Toms would ring her door bell and tell her to draw the curtains shut.
And that's perception, be it in a badly lit fast food outlet or in the bright light of day.
How about you? How do your family and friends perceive you?
More important. How does God perceive you? You can't fool Him you know.

The Truth about Aliens from Outer Space
And why is it people sometimes say they have been abducted by aliens in UFOs and then lived to tell the tale?
They say they have been taken up in the spaceship and dissected on a laboratory table by aliens to see how we humans work, and then they have been put together again.
If an alien is going to cut somebody up like a worm or a rat on the table at biology lesson in school; then why bother put it back together again? Why not throw the bits away? Or use them in some meat pie or in a vegetable and meat dish? Is it because they have no vegetables in the spaceship?
And why is it when they've put the people they've abducted back together again; why is it they give them a tour of the spaceship? And get them to meet their leader and the crew? Why not wipe their minds clean so they cannot tell anyone else that the aliens have landed and they have abducted them? That would be the logical thing to do if I were an alien. I would wipe their minds so they could not tell anyone about me.
And why is it aliens always speak in perfect English to their abductees? You know ... the people they abduct!
Why not speak to them in Klingon, or French, or Italian, or German or any other language? Is it perhaps that they are speaking in Klingon but by some magical stroke of luck it sounds like perfect English?
And one more thing ... do aliens from outer space play golf?
Maybe I should have my head checked at the hospital!

More fake news
I have thought long and hard about posting this article. I do not intend to offend anyone; but this is an example of what I was writing about yesterday.
Yesterday's post entitled Facts, Truth and Lies was making the point that in these days of social media one can post anything and it seems to be reposted time and again regardless of whether it is true or not.
Here's a story that's been doing the rounds which I have received. It is alleged that apparently the story is true.
It seems this young lady got out of the building in the nude and entered a taxi. The driver was amazed and flabbergasted as well as astonished.
She said to him, "What's the matter with you? Have you never seen a naked woman before?"
He replied, "Sorry Miss ... I was wondering where you keep your money to pay me!"
Personally, I doubt that the story is true. But this is immaterial.
Whether the story is true or not does not matter. What is true is the photograph.
I ask myself, what made this woman take off her clothes in public and get in a taxi for all to see ... and photograph?
Was it a bet at a party? Was it a dare? Was she drunk perhaps? Did she get paid for this stunt?
Whatever her reasons, the photo has been taken and is doing the rounds on the Internet.
No doubt, one day she will regret taking part in this exercise.
