Things look ugly or beautiful based upon the thought they provoke.
Or
The thought that already exists inside the brain, defines things as either pleasant or abhorrent.
Things that your mind sees differ greatly from the ones that your eyes do.
For example, a painting will be having different meanings for the painter and different for the admirers.

There can be many factors that affect the perception of something including past experiences, mindset, grooming, knowledge, exposure, environment, and emotional or mental state of the person.
These and many other factors influence the colors that are given to something.

Not, really.
Whatever we see, we only see for it has its presence. So, our experiences are real.
But the meaning given to them has no ultimate authority of being true or universal.
Hence, if you spend more time in the perceived thoughts about things, then you live in virtuality.

Because it gives strong evidence that our mind is not free or in our control.
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐?
Simple, if your mind would have been free, unbiased, and uninfluenced you wouldnโt be having different perceptions about the same thing.
Couldnโt get it?
Letโs try this.

Done?
What was its color?
If you havenโt played cricket yourself enough, chances are it will be โredโ because the ball your mind has seen so far in pictures or on TV was red.
But if you have played yourself, obviously you canโt ignore the green-colored cricket ball.
๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ?
Actually, on apparent grounds, you have the freedom to imagine either red or green ball.
But, do you really?
No!!!
Because the first thought or image of the ball your mind painted was completely without your choice or influence.
Based upon your past exposure or experience, it presented a red or green cricket ball in your head without asking for your permission.

1) Imagine you are at some party or event or gathering of friends. Now, if all of a sudden your favorite song played in loud, you will either start moving your legs or arms (as an attempt to dance) or singing yourself with music and song.
Didnโt that happen without your influence? Had you any control over your body or lips when those favorite energizing sweet lyrics hit your ears?
2) Wouldnโt a hot picture of some pretty girl or handsome boy will catch your attention when scrolling through some app, even for a few seconds? Wonโt it be happening without your control?
3) Of course, Nitrous Oxide (N2O) gas inhale will cause you to laugh madly without any influence.
4) Harsh words or someoneโs bad behavior will instantly make you angry or worried. And even if you were told to be calm, relax or ignore your mind wonโt allow you to be.
5) Donโt we keep scrolling on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter without conscious control? Doesnโt the likes and comments on our post or picture cause a reaction in us (again without our control)? The constantly updated new stuff keeps releasing dopamine hormone in your body and you keep scrolling mindlessly.

That human mind functions in specific patterns.
There are patterns for what you feel, what you think, like, dislike, how you respond, react, and almost everything. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐.
They are formed or developed by different factors and never remain the same. (thatโs also the reason we falsely think that our mind is free. But in reality, itโs the patterns that get evolved or changed).

Understanding this basic thing can help us differentiate between reality and virtuality.
It can help us be in more control of our own behavior. For instance, if you unnecessarily feel the urge to buy unaffordable things like the latest iPhone, a new car, new dress. You can calmly sit and see why your mind is giving birth to such desire in the first place? Is it influenced by (fake) social status attached to luxury items?
Similarly, if you are worried or stressed, try to see what causes your mind to go to those lengths?
Because ultimately, itโs the mind that is doing all, on its own (influenced by something) and (of course) not by you.

Like you are a car but in the driving seat, itโs your mind sitting, that constantly keeps looking at traffic, turns off the road, speed breakers, or your destination.
And every break, reduction, or increase in speed, turn, or takeover you (as a car) experience is nothing but the driver doing his job.
Anytime you feel stressed, worried or things seem out of control.
Just try to calmy see why your driver is doing that?
Is it the road turns (talks, remarks)? Speed breakers (failures, hard lessons)? Traffic (unclear situations, brain Fogg)? Or there is something else?
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ: The mind is never FREE and not in your control fully. It is always influenced by something. Find that something and manipulate it if you want desired actions from your driver (mind).
And then
