Looking at the same picture can mean completely different things for different minds. As scientists say, we are being flooded daily with countless pieces of information and images. Our brains simply can’t perceive everything at the same time, and this doesn’t mean that they aren’t working properly. They just focus on the things that they feel are the most important, which can reveal a lot about a person.
