Sense Of Perception

Our sense of perception is what we perceive to be true depending on what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste. As a class, most people agreed that they trust their sense of sight the most, however I respectfully disagree. Although, I do agree that our sense of sight is extremely important, it is a "luxury" one that we can live without. Personally I feel that the most trusted of our senses is our sense of touch. Truthfully, in order to believe we must touch and not see, this is because with sight it is easy to be fooled, by things such as illusions while as with touch there is not debate as to wether or not something is there or not because you are touching it. What is difficult to understand is why the phrase "seeing is believing" came about, since what you see may be altered to convey a certain message, thus manipulating your understanding and thought towards something. Conclusively, this discussion is one that has allowed me to understand why we tend to believe certain things, or see things a certain away, for it is because we use our sense to draw these conclusions that allow us to perceive different things.
