Question

As a saying “what you and what you hear depends a great deal on where you standing” it also depends on what sort of person you are
A. Justify the statement by putting more light of concept of perception

Answer 1

According to C.S. Lewis, “What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.”

The following image is perhaps the best illustration of the saying:

The image indicates that two people standing at different points can see a given object differently. Therefore, what we perceive is not necessarily reality. A person who relies on a single perspective may have a biased view. However, an objective person views something from different perspectives and may likely better understand reality. For example, the individuals in the image may change their views about the number of rods if they switch sides. Therefore, we should not rely on a single source or view when evaluating reality.
