Repsone 9/19

I perceived Schopenhauer relatively as the same concept as that of Martha. There is the subject and the object, and the laws to hold of each. Continuing further, if someone plus myself witnessed the same event we could perceive it differently thus having different concepts of the same occurrence. When we tell our friends and family they'll hear from our perceptions then create their own perceptions of what was heard. A great example of this would be the game that is sometimes played in elementary school, when children sit in a circle and a person on one part will whisper into another's ear a word. In this example we'll say "telephone" then the cycle of whispers goes along the word being changed continuously from person to person until it gets to the original creator and hears "homophone" or something along the lines of that. Even this blog is an example of what Schopenhauer is saying, we all have read the same text yet we perceive it differently then reflect upon it differently.
