WHAT THEY SAID AND BELIEVED : FRIEDRICH NIETZCHE
NIETZCHE Courtesy web
It is said that seeing is believing. We believe what we see. The facts, visible facts, dominate our thinking and ultimately they shape our life.
But what we see or hear or read is percolated into our conscious through our own system of interpretations. Every person has his or her own system of interpretaton for almost every word in dictionary. Take the word 'stick'. It reminds me my cruel teacher who beat me without reason and thus the word 'stick' creates in the notion of fear into me, the embedded fear since my childhood.
But the same word 'stick', say for you, might be the symbol of love and affection as you might be associating it with your loving grandfather walking with his stick and talking lovely with you.
So the facts are not on its own. all the facts are seen through the filters of our own life's experiances and our own filters of interpretations.
