“Wisdom is knowing the difference between perception and reality. Perception, which is essentially intellectual interpretation, is vulnerable to distortion even as the actual reality itself is not. In the same way can your image be distorted in a circus mirror while the actual reality of yourself beyond the mirror remains undefiled. There is harmless distortion of perception as in the case of the circus mirror but there is the dis-empowering insidious manipulation of perception that is the strategy of all denominators throughout history.” ~Surf Reyes, Philippine Art Scene Controversy: Three Faces of Pretension, FB
