People ’s Way of Seeing Things
The way we see things is affected by what we know or what We believe. / For those people who believed in the physical existence of Hell in the Middle Ages, /the sight of fire must have meant something quite different from what it means today. /Nevertheless, their idea of hell owed a lot to the sight/of fire consuming and the ashes remaining/ as well as to their experience of the pain of burns./
We only see what we look at. /To look is an act of choice. /As a result of this act, what we see is brought within our reach,/ though not necessarily within arm’s reach. /To touch something is to situate oneself in relation to it. /We never look at just one thing./ We are always looking at the relation between things and ourselves. /Our vision is continually active, continually moving, /continually holding things in a circle around itself.
