All five senses are pretty unreliable. They all can be tricked and decieved or taken away completely. However, if i absolutely had to choose then i believe that sight is the most trustworthy and untustworthy sense a human has. Sight is untrustworthy due to the fact that we do not know if the colors we are seeing are the actual colors. Is this notebook light green or dark green? Does it have a hint of blue or red? Everyone sees color differently so how do we know which one is correct and how do we know our eyes are not just tricking us? And those are just asking about the basic colors that the majority of humans see, according to the podcast "Colors" there are humans out there who can see a more array of shades and colors. With this information we now know that our eyes are not seeing every color possible, we are not seeing all that there can be and our eyes have limited it's sight range. On the other hand our sight is trustworthy because despite the color of objects, we are able to see objects everywhere, while doing chores, driving, school, and people, our sight is what the majority of humanity depends on. It allows us to get places with little worry. Our eyes can change and become stronger to see light in the darkness or it can change and allow us to see less light from the sun in the day. Our sight is untrustworthy yet very trustworthy.

After Reading the short story "How We Listen" and listening to the podcast "colors" I have to agree that sight is the most untrustworthy in the sense that we all view the world differently and see the world in different aspects and colors. Some people are colorblind and their color choices are very limited compared to someone who is not colorblind. If you asked them what color something was they wouldn't know because that color is not an option so their answer would be different. But even to someone else who is not colorblind they would have a different answer than another person. Everyone's perspective is completely different and therefore sight is not very trustworthy. On the other hand our sense of hearing would have to be our much trustworthy element because when we listen to music for example, what we interrupt from it is our own understanding. Essentially music is supposed to bring out a certain feeling out of the person and its not supposed to be the exact same as someone else's. We all listen to music differently, whether it be just for the sound, to interpret the meaning or just for the music but how we listen is our own choice and nobody can tell us if we are right or wrong, it is solely based on our own interpretations.
