Personally I think it's interchangable, Preechr. In some odd fucking way, an apple and a lantern have a "form of perception".
Other than that, being a greedy self-righteous human I'd have to say it's our minds, cause we're great and so enlightened. But then you have the idea that even if you had no mind(were dead, or insane, or in candyland) the lantern would still be there. Still lighting the room. So i dont know what that means, other then it's underlying purpose is it's form of perception, and that by using the lantern to light the room the lantern is achieving it's purpose, thusly using the user by implementaion factors.
Maybe it's a combination of Perceptions, a melding of sorts, CO OPERATION, it's a love-hate relationship.
Which do you think is more better-er.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, if you were dead or in Candyland your perception would be changed to a so called "Dilusion" or whatever else may be. So seeing as a changed perception occured, it's kind of difficult to argue the relevancy of the teapot still steaming.
It's great to talk about stupid shit
