Seeing is believing:
It is said that seeing is believing. But actually, believing is seeing—we often see what we believe to be there, misinterpreting our senses in illusory ways. Moreover, our senses sometimes create perceptions out of nothing at all. When people experience perceptions of non-real things in ways that are indistinguishable from other aspects of their actual reality, the last thing they are willing or able to believe is that those perceptions could have been due to their own brain malfunctioning—their mind playing tricks on them. People tend to trust their physical senses and to believe what their own brain tells them, no matter how bizarre. They will layer explanations on top of their perception of reality to explain away contradictions. Since we experience the external world entirely through our senses, we find it hard to accept that these perceptions are sometimes entirely subjective and not necessarily reliable experiences.
