Unvarnished Truth

by HarryT

What we think is reality is different for each person
often, what one perceives may not be truly so.
Sensory information comes in flashes
colored by our hearts, minds, and souls.
 
Waves of personal experience tint observations,
much like twisting a kaleidoscope
the glass shards of perceptions
are manipulated to accommodate
beliefs that have been presented,
adopted and thus take hold.

Therefore, when new information is presented,
 all should take care to
 disable personal biases
that shade knowledge
of
unvarnished truth.
