Seeing is believing," or is it? Our eyes process vast amounts of information instantaneously, constantly, and automatically. As I talk about another one of our senses, it really baffles me how much I take for granted these simple, fundamental human tools. Apparently, our alternative senses increase output if one or some of our other senses fail or start to decline. Our sight, to me, is the most important of the five. But saying that, the thought of not being able to hear, speak, taste, touch, or smell makes me nervous.

Obviously, we learn to become accustomed to these senses and over time increase our capabilities in each one of them. Until we get to a certain point in our lives where, through trauma, injury, or age, these senses may start to decline.

Visualization, however, and how we view the world through our own predefined perspective, is an incredibly personal yet complex and deep aspect of our lives. One of the most profound things I think about when discussing our sight is that our eyes and the sight we see are simply a construct of how we perceive the world. It may seem like our eyes are gateways of vision through a glass screen, but in fact, they are internalized, generated projectors. Our own perception of the world dictates how we see it. Does that simply mean that we can choose to see whatever and however we like? Or because of the vast human-engineered ideas that have impregnated our minds on a global scale, are we already preprogrammed?

I have read that our eyes are only able to see a fraction of the light spectrum, a tiny sliver of the entire range. This makes me question the nature of reality and what else is out there that we cannot perceive.

Overall, these thoughts on sight and perception remind me of the importance of not taking our senses for granted. We should appreciate them and continuously seek to expand our understanding of the world around us.
