Point To Ponder 22: The Dress and Perception

Two things drove the Internet yesterday...llamas and a dress. Not since Monika Lewinski have we talked so much about a blue dress...or was it a white dress? The evidence is in and the fact is everyone is right, until all the information has been presented. I got to thinking why so many people see this dress differently. I clearly saw it as the correct color and then I realized; we all have filters. Filters determine everything we see. Filters alos come from many places: Our experiences Our perceptions Our education Our upbringing Our soci-economic place Our bias' Before we make decisions based just on our own experiences, think how awesome it would be to make decisions based on all the information available.  Empathy then has a chance to take hold and real change can happen. The dress is definitely two colors although there is a huge argument over which two colors it is. The reason is the filters...remove the filters and we all see things the same.
