perception
You assume everyone sees the world exactly like you.
Most people believe their subjective interpretation of events is an objective reflection of reality.
We fail to realize that others, even those exposed to the same evidence, are interpreting it through different psychological filters. This makes us view those who disagree as either misinformed or malicious.
You are not viewing the world; you are viewing a version of it.
