Seeing Is Not Believing眼见不一定为实

Seeing Is Not Believing

There is an old saying in China “The eyes are reliable; the ears are false.” Nowadays, this saying needs to be considered again. Seeing is not believing.

What is known to us all is that the magic is very popular in the world. The magician who stands alone on the black stage conjures up some new things. For example, we all see that his bare hands turn into a rabbit suddenly. But it is not true.

In the spring and autumn period, Yan Hui who is another student of Confucius is cooking porridge when the something dirty falls into the pan; he wants to scoop out it with the spoon originally, but he eats it owing to the frugal virtue. However, this scene has been seen by Confucius. Confucius blames him for stealing porridge. When the whole thing come to be obvious, Confucius sighs that seeing is not believing. What’s important, some goods of famous reliable brand also exists a great deal of issue of quality hurting people’s health and violates consumers’right. So it is absurd to follow the tide to believe the celebrity effect.

Now, I will make an experiment: there are two same pens. I will make them into nail shape. You can see the standing pen is longer than the horizontal pen. This easy experiment can tell us seeing is not believing.

All in all, one thing or believe one should observe carefully, and then learn to judge, not jumping to conclusions or decisions. No one can guarantee that seeing is certainly accurate facts. Really want to insight into a person requires repeated observation and understanding, seeing is not necessarily true, but in seeing things in people heart status is some.

In my perspective, the hearing is illusory, the seeing is not believing. For example, some beautiful ladies who put on makeup or have plastic surgery are charming, but they may be ugly originally. If we all believe our eyes instead of the analysis and thinking, we will be puzzled by the surface of illusion. We need to go to have great lengths to use our hearts to touch the truth. When we put down the concept of egoism, we can catch the truth.
