We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.
That was a quote from a mail I got in work - and it reminds me of an entry I almost wrote last week before %@^% it was eaten. About the Nice Treaty, and why I voted yes.
A large part of that almost-entry was about how people filter events through their own particular perception of reality, and a rejection of the treaty by Ireland changes the perception of many people. I think that strangely enough, the bigger changes to Ireland would have come from that change in perception rather than the changes which will occur due to the Nice Treaty.
Admittedly I’ve only gotten to page 15 in reading the treaty - bad considering that I’ve already voted! Nothing to make me think I’ve made a horrible mistake yet though…
