Well it didn't want to post!
"Given that human perception does not correspond exactlyto objective stimulus characteristics (i.e., we are susceptible to illusions), how can we have any confidence at all that the knowledge we gain through our senses is accurate?"
After much thought, I am still looking at this question as âhuh?â. Itâs also been a statement that I have been trying the think of how to answer all week. Iâvecome to the conclustionthat I find myself with a lot of confidence in my surroundings and eventually how they will plan out. However, there are many questions through that confidence that are yet to be answered.
Right now, I see my life as an illusion.
One side is a young women going through college who became unemployed after the place of employment closed. Thereâs nothing stable in my life right this moment as to get a foot in the door for the medical field, I am going through an employment agent. This way I can get experience to put on the resume that every place wants. Yet, itâs very unpredictable as right now, until I make a phone call on Monday I am left without a job again. But itâs a gamble I take but donât like.
The other side is a middle aged women with a stable job, finally who is married with children. Rather simple statement, but thatâs what my mind gives me to look forward to so the unstable life now will eventually have some stability.
How do I have that confidence that my illusion will finally turn to the direction that my mind has set? I have a family thatâs willing to help support me until I am on my feet. They have no intentions of giving me the kick which is a form a stability in my life. Right now, I also have an awesome support team through friends and have a very understanding beau.
Needless to say, this statement has really been put to the test this past week and I had to come up with something due to a course deadline. However you look at it, I may be lucky that I have the rest of my life to figure out this question or unfortunate that I have too long to find the answer.
