Seeing

“Seeing is Believing”

So they say. It’s very true, I believe. Seeing with your very own eyes is as a matter of fact, very convincing, whatever it pertains. The very nature of a magician’s crafty art is convincing one by sight, in a way that you only see what he wants you to see. Thus, it’s easy to believe in magic, but seeing what you saw does not bring you remotely close to understanding it.

Nobody ever said Seeing is Understanding.

It struck me that seeing something does not always, if at all, helps with understanding. Many a times, what we do not see matters more than how much we think it does. Just like how a magician’s trick are the moves he pulls which are hidden from view.

It is easy to believe in something you see. Understanding it, is another matter.
The real challenge is - what do you not see?

  2. Saya pun tak berapa faham. Seperti yang saya katakan, untuk mempercayai memang mudah. Untuk memahami ialah satu hal lain. Sungguh kompleks.

  3. programming logic:

    if see&understand = true then
    understand = true
    believe = true
    end if

    if not see then
    believe = false
    understanding = false
    else
    believe = true
    end if

    am i right here?

  5. Hearing is not necessarily listening just as looking is not necessarily seeing.

    I REALLY hope this post isn’t based on the…incredible display of typical AGS chatter that you witnessed on that day lol.

    No, not really. There’s a lot more to it.

    Perhaps that’s where I went wrong!
