"the ideas we receive by sensation are often in grown people altered by the judgement without our taking notice of it."
This brings a couple ideas to mind. First, we see what we want to see is popular saying. I had a friend who was very mean, shallow, and disrespectful. It took me years to notice it because I saw something dfferent. I looked past those characteristics because I saw potential and somethign better in her.
Second, it reminded me of the game 'telephone' where you whisper a phrase into someones ear and keep the chain going to see if the phrase remains the same throughout the exchange from person to person. For the most part, it never remains the same. You alter visions, sayings, etc. without realizing it all the time. Your perception results from experiences, personality, morals, and all things in your life.

I like the idea of the telephone because i played that game before, with 10 people playing the game, toward the end of the line your orginal saying are errase by half, so you can alter your saying without your knowledge!
It can defiently be an example of when you are friends with someone who has terrible example to be around. The main thing is that you cannot see what other people see until you have nothing to do with that person
Grown people do alter what they see with their own judgements. However, people are nto aware of the fact that tehy are doing so and this is what creates a problem i think. People can be blinded by others when they see what they want to see. In this life, people should be aware that our judgements are so innate in us that they come out even in the simplest thing as making friends.
