Is life what your eyes want to see?

Question

Is life what your eyes want to see?

Answer 1

Your eyes only deliver images to your brain.  Life is what you see with your soul.

Answer 2

Life is what it IS. Your experience and set of ethics and values is really what "your eyes want to see."

Answer 3

only when i look down

Answer 4

No, not for me. I see horrible things happenning in this world and I want to pay attention and help change it. If life was really what my eyes want to see, then that would mean me ignoring all the problems that I care about and believing things would work themselves out.

Answer 5

I think my life is exactly what my soul wants to see and more importantly feel.  Not to mention, most people see the world through their own rose colored glasses.... as they say.  Life and what we see is our own perception, perhaps we do tweak it to see it as we wish to see it.  This only gets us so far... as reality has to sink in at some point.

Answer 6

pretty much most of the time, yes.

humans tend to use their sense of sight predominantly - unfortunately at the cost of other senses. it is only when one loses one's eyesight that other senses come into play & you hone in on those.

but even otherwise, one sees & interprets life as per one's choice. it is usually a very personal experience, personal interpretation, perosnal view.... no wonder you get such a wide range of answers/perspectives/opinions to a single question or phenomenon or occurence...

if life was objective, we would all react like robots - preprogrammed cause-effect / action-reaction ...

so there's that personal something within each of us which, thru' our sensory receptors acting as a medium, that makes us view & live life our own unique way....

Answer 7

How is anyone supposed to know that?!

Answer 8

Yes I think so - or what we are brave enough or free enough to let our eyes see.

I am much caught by Carl Rogers theory of subception whereby we have an added trick to our defense system to deny incoming data before it even reaches our senses. So I doubt that the eyes are the intelligence behind shoring up the view of the world we need to have but yes our sight is limited.  

Answer 9

By changing your view of the universe by one degree...you would see the world in quite a different prospective...inner sight helps.

Answer 10

...24/7 never changing, forever living...thanks for asking...

Answer 11

shallow.

Answer 12

Life is how you interpret what you see, hear, experience around you. What you see might not always be true.

Answer 13

No...life isn't what your eyes want to see, because if that was the case

there would be no problems. There would be no problems or trials in life because I'm sure it would not be a part of what someone would choose in life. Since there are problems and trials there must be aspects of life that happen regardless of what we see, and it's not life.

Life is existence and presence and it all happens whether we know it or not.

Answer 14

life is what my heart want to feel.

Answer 15

This could mean many things.

I like seeing new life created, it's fascinating, reassuring, and beautiful.

I'm also glad and thankful to be alive, so I want to see the beauty life has given me.

The life that is around today though, I don't like seeing a lot of it. War, violence, murder. No, I don't want to see that. It's a cruel life in these modern times, it should be changed. The world is beautiful, some people in it though, are not.

Answer 16

of course

it's purely subjective, we just have enough overlap as co-existing humans to be able to discuss a footie match and know we're talking about the same thing.

and what actually happens can be interpreted in many different ways, in terms of what you actually think you see or percieve.
