Your perspective is the way you see something. Perspective has a Latin root meaning "look through" or "perceive."
My son and husband enjoy duck hunting. This past weekend they spent the entire day hunting in a near by river. Apparently, my son took the boat down the river to look for birds. He must have gone further than my husband thought he planned to go. So my husband called him to return which took a while. Once he return, my husband was disappointed as he felt my son had used too much gas as the boat was "almost empty" with 2 gallons of gas left. My son told me the same story, but with the comment, "I don't know why dad was mad. There was still 2 gallons of gas left." Same story, same amount of gas, but different perspectives.
Perspective changes the scene you experience. Whether it is your visual perspective, your experience perspective, or even cultural perspective.
