Are Our Social Perceptions Problematic?

An important part of providing spiritual support to our family members and friends is to correctly understand their

anger, sadness and joy. We all have no doubt about this. But is it true? Unfortunately, not. Scientific research shows that we are not very successful in fully analyzing what others feel or think. The reason for this is that our perceptions are not objective. Paying attention to a stimulus in our environment, perceiving, judging and reacting appropriately is a very complex function of our brain.
