Perception and reality,Pre-conceived notion help animals not man Articles how it is in corporate world versus animal kingdom?  Perception is good or bad? Do animals get into the world of perception and how they relate this to reality?

Study of animal psychology is very interesting as it may give many great insights.  In many occasion, animals do behave like humans.  But the interesting aspect is that, if an animal behave like humans during many situations, why and how they are different from human?

The interesting truth is that, animals do perceive and in many instances, they believe their perceptions to be true.  But unlike man, whether animals continuously live in the world of their ‘perception’ lead truth or they verify the truth and forbid the ‘perception’ is yet to be established.  But the indications are clear that animals see the truth very fast and hence may not continue to live in the world of perception. 

The mongrels in the street when see some one leaning to the ground to pick up the key that had fallen down, will start running.  This tendency is very common among mongrels as they associate such as act to the past incident of someone had throw stone at them.  They perceive any act of picking up something from the ground as danger to them.  Every one may not throw stone at dongs.  But the belief (perception) that had already formed, these animals always relate to truth. 

Another worth mentioning incident is the effect of mirage on animals.  During summer months, animals search for water.  When they see a mirage, they run towards the direction of the optical illusion, thinking they might find water over there.  In general, the pre-formed opinion (perception) in animal world plays a positive role as either it make the to be ‘alert’ as in the case of the first instance or ‘verify’ as in the case of the second instance.  Beyond that, the pre-formed opinion does not have any negative contribution in animal life.

How this feeling work in corporate world? More often people for an opinion purely based on a very trivial incident.  Once an opinion is formed, corporate people seldom verify but believe that opinion to be true.  All the subsequent attempts and efforts will be to consolidate the belief that had already formed and affirm it to be true. 

When they formed an opinion about some one to be ‘bad’, every action of such people will be viewed with doubt.  The mind often log onto the site where they have uploaded their judgment and selectively collect the data to support and substantiate their present affirmation.  The pre-formed judgment always prevents the corporate man to see the truth.  It would only create a web of problem and would never help him in resolving the problem. 

Another disadvantage of the pre-conceived notion is that, it will make the mind of the employee very dark and clouded.  It creates a bondage to the self manufactured truth than to the truth.     Do not tie your mind to struggle but free your mind to freedom, see the world with an open mind and enjoy your life.
