Perception Post

1. Humans are curious by nature, they will question current knowledge and will want to understand everything. Doubt of what we think we know is the cause for the curiosity that brings us closer to new knowledge. We perceive everything around us differently, and somethings that seem true and correct for some may seem false or incorrect for others. It is our doubt of what we think is true that really makes us more knowledgeable.
2. It really impresses me how different cultures have doubts about something while others don't. For example Muslim cultures would never doubt of the existence of God, they perceive and they believe. In Most the western hemisphere, the existence of God is doubted because there is no prove of it, people base what they perceive in knowledge and scientific proves. Atoms, electrons, protons and neutron have never been seen. It is a assumption of scientist that this particles exist yet the world does not doubt this knowledge in the same way they doubt the existence of a supreme being.
3. In school there is always gossip and rumor going on. there are certain people who believe everything that they hear. The key in this situations is to be able to doubt even what seems more true, because if you doubt it, you will be able to prove its veracity by yourself and consequently be able to judge correctly on such issues.
4. A personal example from my life that reflects the Persian proverb is the following: One time in chemistry the teacher gave us some examples of chemical reactions we had to balance. I had some prior knowledge on this subject yet i was not sure that one example was stated correctly. I doubted of the teacher's certainty on the correctness of the example. My doubt lead me to search for knowledge that would aid me prove if the example was correct. The fact was she had done a mistake and me doubting her lead me to have more knowledge.
