This phrase, mentioned twice in the Lord of the Rings series means that things are never as they seem. Someone may appear happy to the outside world, but this could be a farce. Its all about perceptions.
A man may have a big house in Camps Bay with the most expensive cars and the richest friends, but he may not be happy. He will appear happy to others because many people aspire to be where he is, yet they don't understand the difference between perceptions and reality.
Not all those who wander are lost. We could be more lost than the man on the street who has no home, money and food. Many of us don't know our purpose or we ignore it. The man who has everything might be searching for his higher purpose, yet the outside world will see him as having everything.
My vow is to stop using perceptions as my reality. Those who are lost need help. We need to see their reality and help them.
Agreed. Sometimes perceptions are the cause of us 'reading people totally wrong' Helping others reach their full potential is a very noble direction to follow - you can pull it off!
