認識 perspective

幼い時は事物が自分の心・精神・考えが成長していない通りに見える。だからそのまま認識して成長する。大きくなってもその認識の通りに判断し、接し、行なうから間違いだ。

When a person is young/a child, objects look the way they do according to the person’s immature heart, mind, and thoughts. Therefore, they grow up perceiving that way. However, they are in error because they judge, treat, and take action according to that (same) perspective even when they are grown up.
