" When you look at the person next to you, do you really see them as they are on the inside or feel what they feel? You see only the images of them that is presented to your mind through your senses. "
This quote reminds me of a person who is always smiling but is actually depressed. We never really know or understand ones emotions or even who they really are. We only go by what we see/ what they want us to see. Is this disability to connect with others emotions a good thing or a bad thing? For example, if your best friend is going trough some tough times so you tell them to vent their feelings. Do you really begin to understand how they feel by the way they explain it or do you just find a time you felt that way and try to relate? Ive been in this position and i find myself relating more then fully fulling my best friends pain. Like banach said, we can only "feel our pains . . immediately."
Im going to take this blog post in a different direction because i dont know what else to say about my first topic. Banach says that our minds are trapped in our bodies "only perceving the images transmitted to us through our bodies and their sences." In other words , our mind intreprets what our sences signal. Can we trust our sences? Im pretty sure everyone has once experinced a time when they thought they heard something but they had actualy heard wrong. Our ears are our only source of hearing whats going on outside of our heads, therfore if we have once experinced hearing soemthing wrong, how do we know that we are always hearing things correctly? Are our sences really that reliable? they can often decive us so how will we every really know whats going on out side of our own heads? I guess we just "hear what we want to hear" becuase at the end of the day, you cant feel or know anything else besides your own emotions and your own thoughts.

I thought this was a really intreasting blog post. Something that really stuck out to me was when you said "if your best friend is going trough some tough times so you tell them to vent their feelings. Do you really begin to understand how they feel by the way they explain it or do you just find a time you felt that way and try to relate?" this question really had me thinkin. Because how many times do we sit with someone we care about and try our best to give some uplitfing comment but our we really trying to relate. Maybe what we all need to do is just simply learn to sit and listen, and just let them know their not alone. Maybe that's the only real way to relate, or atleast thats my philsophy. I purpose that maybe we should stop trying to "hear what we want to hear" and start actually listening because then just maybe well percevie the world around us how it truly is, we might find ourself's really realateing.I hope to hear more from you ,you have some really deep insightful ideas. Peace,Love,Respect.
