It is
well known that our eyes are more that capable of playing tricks on us. Whether
it be by the means of a random pattern of colors or through being preoccupied
with other thoughts and they begin to seep from your mind to your eyes. Our
sense of site is by far the least trustworthy of our senses. By now the act of
seeing has become muscle memory, your first impression of most of the world is
based off what one is able to see. The sense of site cannot dig deeper, it is
limited to simply looking at the cover of the book, not what is within.
The
sense of feeling however, the sense of touch, provides our brains with highly
critical information. With a sense of touch, we are able to establish limits
and feel them physically, we are actually able to feel the existence. Touch is
the most trustworthy of the senses. Whenever you to feel your heart beating in
your chest or get a painful paper cut, it is a factual confirmation that we are
still alive and human.
I am more on the side of listening and hearing our thoughts can actually create a greater sense of development and correlation between deeper types of music. We are able to understand a deeper meaning to music through words and we are able to analyze the understanding of difference of meanings. These types of different sounds are able to key in a sense of emotion because we all have an emotional tie to words and sounds and what they all mean within our realm of society.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this blog post in the aspect that our sense of touch is the most reliable and trustworthy sense. Our sense of touch allows us to really make contact with things on a physical level and most things feel the same to everyone unlike some of the other sense such as sight. Sight is the least reliable sense to me because we don't really ever know if the things that we see are exactly the things that others see. The way that we see grass might not be the way others see the grass. I agree with you when you say that the sense is just surface level, it doesn't dig deeper. We see based on light patterns and other elements of our eyes but we really can never trust if what we are seeing is actually correct.

ReplyDeleteI agree with this post because the sense that i believe is the trust worthiest is the sense of touch. By being able to touch something were able to grasp onto an idea of what an objects needs are. For example when we grab a leaf i get to know more about it than if I would have just ate, heard, smelled, or stared at an object. The weakest one I am more on towards eyesight being the least trustworthy sense. If you can't see you barely function. We need our eyes to perform many activities that occur throughout the day. The eyes also make us believe that there is something when there really isn’t
ReplyDeleteSight is unarguably the least trustworthy sense that humans possess. Sight is something most humans possess and the majority of people depend heavily on sight in everyday situations but this sense is the most deceitful of them all. This sense is only understood by the user after being told how to use it. If someone is never taught that the sky is blue, then that person may never see the sky as blue. That alone makes this sense completely unreliable. I agree with this post because touch is the most reliable sense we possess. As a musician I have had many experiences in which touch has become more useful than sight. There are times in which I have seen a piece of music enough and practiced that piece enough that when I do play I have a much weaker dependency on my sight than on my muscle memory. Touch is reliable because it is a sense that is learned by the user, not an idea forced upon the one who has the sense.
