Do you really see what you think you see?

People see what they want to see. If you look long enough, it’s likely you will see it.

Do your eyes play tricks on you or does your brain? Nevertheless, people seen what they think they see. Look up at the clouds and you might make out a face or an animal. Look at a nebula and you see an eye or a hand or a woman's face. Many years ago whilst out on a family drive, I looked up at the sky from the moving car and I could have sworn I saw a cloud shaped like a sitting camel. I know my eyes were not deceiving me but when I pointed it out to my family, they didn’t see what I was seeing. It could be because the cloud had moved on.

And social media is filled with photos of things that supposedly look like something they're not. One was a picture of what looked like a seascape with mountains and a bit of beach. The caption read, if you're artistic you'll see a beach but look again, it’s actually a closeup of damage to the back of a car.

Another was a photo from the sky of a boat racing through blue waters. Again, the caption read, do you see a boat racing through water? Look again, it’s actually closeup of a tear in a sofa.
