“Seeing is Believing?” (Nature, Illusions, Reality, & Imagination)

  The quote “Seeing is Believing”, in my mind is considered to be true. If I can experience it, see it, or hear it for myself. I believe it to be true. I can also believe in almost anything as long as I keep on believing that anything is possible and most of the time containing some sort of logical explanation for that ‘anything’. That anything meaning it could be real or surreal. The nature in reality is anything organic and not man-made is said to exist. Unlike illusions, which aren’t usually real or always false.

  Illusions are important to us, knowing that a trick or an idea isn’t true. It could ‘cause serious damage to the mind and physically become a health issue. Damage to the mind by hearing false theories can change your beliefs on things. You can even make wrong decisions based on the false theories you’ve heard. It could also hurt your health, in example, you have heard a theory or a saying that you can lose weight if you stop eating sugary foods. That is a false idea, if you don’t have some sugars every other day, you will crave it ten times more when you don’t have any so really you’d be gaining that weight rather than losing it. Even though illusions are usually a bad thing, it still is needed in our lives. Illusions are what make us help create sometimes major decisions. Illusions are what also make us find out information to correct an idea that’s untrue. Not having illusions would make everything seem like it’s too good, or too good to be true that is.

  Sometimes in relationships, things do seem like it’s too good to be true. It could be just your imagination that a love relationship is good. In your mind you could receive an idea that your relationship with someone is flawless just because you two as a couple have never argued. You could get an idea that your partner has huge money ‘cause they’re always spending it on you. Your romance is probably about 50% of your imagination and everything in your relationship that makes it seem like it’s this and that (Good/perfect/bad). You can get any idea from your imagination and romance, but in the end you will never really know what’s true and what’s not.
