To see, or to hear?

Do you believe what you see?

Or do you believe in what you hear?

The question came when I was struck with the hypothetical situation of 'would you rather be blind or deaf?'

They say 'seeing is believing'; in my opinion, this statement holds true, as most of us are more content with believing in what we hear rather than confirming the so-called fact with our own eyes.

Perhaps that's why they call it 'the blind leading the blind' rather than 'the deaf leading the deaf', seeing as the power of sight holds a greater power than hearing. And which is perhaps why you hear more of the cry 'listen to me!' rather than 'look at me!' - to hear is easier, as we Malay say, 'masuk telinga kanan keluar telinga kiri' (rough equivalent translation would... hear it once, forget it next). It doesn't carry on the extra baggage needed in ascertaining a fact with your own eyes, which would then get your mind to work in putting all the pieces together, like.


By the way, I love Rumia more than Mystia. Just sayin'~
