I really hope you enjoy this investigation of the Gestalt Effect. The triangle image for the episode is a practical example of how the eye fills in the details. I first came upon this while reading an excellent book on modesty. I'll share a link for that book:

The word Gestalt simply means seeing things as a whole, as a full picture. The mind takes in pieces of information and instantly tries to fill in something common and make a judgment. Different principles dictate this almost instantaneous action. We will look at Continuation and Closure. How does this information affect the clothes we choose to wear? Are we ready to take ownership of our impressions on others? 

To move that forward, what about our speech? When we share just a word or a short message, do we understand how others hear it? A word spoken can be a full paragraph in the ear of the hearer. A moment of tone can convey a tidal wave of emotion. Let's dig in some on why minding our words is as important as our dress.

- What is the Gestalt Effect and how is it always in play?

- What is the power of an impression and how can we own that power?

- How does dress and modesty relate to the Gestalt Theory?

- How does spoken words - sarcasm and tone - carry more weight than we think it does?

- Can we take advantage of Gestalt to use a little input to make people's day a lot better?
