“I’ll not believe unless I see” is an argument often put forth by some people.
“We cannot see everything, to believe” some others say.
“God can not be seen, so I do not believe in God” some say this way.
Hence idols are made to represent God, so that people can see and believe in God.
Seeing and believing is a very good concept, but it has lot of limitations.
Even if we see a murder, and we know who committed the crime, the court will not accept it unless we provide certain proofs and evidences.
To make someone to believe certain things is difficult; however convincing with logical evidences will work.
Earlier if a match is played in England, we can hear the audio commentary in radio.
Whatever the commentator says we will imagine and believe.
Today live matches are seen in TV and we believe whatever we see.
Therefore, as we advance in technology we try to accept the concept of ‘seeing is believing’.
Close circuit video cameras are fixed in hotels, important traffic junctions, roads, railway stations, airports, supermarkets, malls, banks etc.,
The movement of people is closely monitored through CC TVs in the important places.
Most of the things in Nature are seen by us and thus we believe.
Some of the things which we never see, are blindly believed.
The superstitious believes can not be seen, but heard from mouth to mouth.
People have faith in them, so they believe.
Anything abnormal is very difficult to believe unless we see it.
So evidences are expected for believing.
Scientist while trying to find the truth, makes hypothesis whish is only a belief, and designs experiments to prove the hypothesis.
When the proof is repeatable, sometimes visible is accepted as a theory.
Everyone believes the theory.
Visual evidence can be easily believed.
A plant if it wilts because of want of water we can see and believe that the plant can not survive without water.
If someone says the plant has wilted and died, then we make many queries to find out the truth because we have not seen the wilted plant.
Sometimes we will be misguided by visual evidences.
Counterfeit currencies are the examples.
Similarly photographs or voices can be manipulated and make one to believe.
Therefore, the control even in visual evidences has become necessary.
How far the visual evidences are truthful?
Day by day ‘seeing is believing’ also getting more criticism from different quarters.
No thief or criminal accepts their mistake, unless it is proved.
Although we know someone is a known thief or criminal, we can not punish him or her straight away.
It has to be proved with all kinds of evidences and arguments for and against.
The judiciary play an important role with the help of police, intelligent service, Interpol etc.,
Sometimes proves may be wrong and the innocent person is punished.
May be a very small per cent fall under such cases.
A blind person can not see, but still he believes the things which he has not seen.
He may touch, smell, hear or feel to believe certain things.
For him, ‘seeing is believing’ is not acceptable.
Therefore, when we apply this concept, it has to taken with a pinch of salt.
Seeing is a great opportunity offered to living beings to lead a happy life.
All the time, we see things around us including friends, relatives, people and all other things.
Whether we believe or not, sight is the great boon we have.
Let us make use of it even for believing.
