Is seeing believing?

Although everyone has their own opinion of this matter, what I think of this matter is not that relevant at the moment because everyone interprets the information they receive differently depending on past experiences that the brain might have gone through. For example, in our daily lives we study a lot of things, whether at school, at work or home, but the things we study about are things that we have not seen before and may not see them ever. We hear of so many people and so many things but "who are we to say that they are not real?" The question that comes to my head after thinking of the existence of things that I have never seen or experienced is, "should I believe only what I see?"

You don't have to see something to believe it, although there are many things in this world that we cannot touch, feel, see or hear, but "does this mean we shouldn't believe that they exist?" For example, many people believe in Ghosts, there is no proof that they exist and I personally don't believe in them, however some people have seen them, should we believe what they have seen, or should we go with our instincts and believe in only what we have seen?

Illusions play a trick on our minds, they basically confuse our brain. They make us believe in what we see, but when we find the solution somehow we seem to change the way we see the illusion as a whole. Take this example,

Try to say the colour of each word!

In the first word, although our mind sees the word PURPLE we see RED, our brain responds to previous encounters with the colour, it memorises the colour and interprets it where it can find a similar match.

In conclusion believing should only come from intuition, for a sense of right and wrong comes from God himself. Seeing is not believing, as so everything that exists usually tends to not be seen and everything that cannot be seen tends to exist apart from in our minds.

Language.

Firstly what is language?
       "The free dictionary" defines language as, "Communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols."
Firstly we have to distinguish the difference between, "communication" and "language". Language falls under communication as it is like a type of communication with other humans.

The way we use language, allows us to understand the way we communicate very differently, whether it is what the sender is trying to say or not. The way the current world uses language confuses some people, as there are many ways of communicating, for example:

1. Verbal communication, when you are talking to someone or people in person.

2.Written communication, emails, reports etc

3.Visual communication, television and video clips.

4. Sign language communication, used by people who are unable to communicate naturally.

5. Non-Verbal communication, non physical communication.

       There are very many other ways.

There are 4 ways of receiving language as Shulz Von Thun said,

 Self revelation: MUM:What a chaos! You're a slob! How can you live in such a mess!

                                SON:  Did you have a bad day Mum? 

 Factual Information: When facts are communicated to others.

 Relationship: expresses how the sender gets along with the receiver and what he thinks about him.

 Appeal: Saying or understanding something that is said "indirectly" 
    
       Depending on were and how we use language we can understand it differently. The word 'shit' can be used negatively, when cursing at someone or when something has gone wrong. But however its true meaning is 'FECES'. What is the difference between saying 'feces' and 'shit'? There is no difference however the way we interpret words is different around the world and this can cause problems to some people.
