Is seeing believing?

Seeing is an important feature  to believing. when people don't see they may not fully believe. this can be explained in an example like when a person hears about an event but has not been there to see what happened may not fully believe the person that told him about the event. another example is when people often say 'show me', they want to see it in order to believe that it is true . However does believing what you see means that it is true? not necessarily. When the media shows pictures of hurt people and children, the viewers mostly believe and assume that what is said is true even without knowing what really happened. this can be an example that what we see is not necessarily the truth. Also seeing can change other perceptions; it is very easy to trick a persons sense of taste by changing the colours of food and drinks. This shows us how unreliable our sense of vision can be. We believe things using past experiences and memories and therefore relating the present to the past. A person may know that green food and drinks are not normal and therefore may taste it differently than what it actually is.
