Perception Post

"Doubt is the key to knowledge” (Persian Proverb). To what extent is this true in Perception?

Each person will percieve this statement differently, but in my opinion I think that our doubts teach us in certain ways. Doubts are present in our daily life and sometimes our perception of new things allow us to learn. When something is unfamiliar to us, we constantly ask questions and try to understand it. Our enviroment and experiences allow us to learn many things that are not known. Doubts make us analyze things, and later we are able to achieve more knowledge. I think that without doubts, we wont be interested in certain topics that intrigue us and maybe we wont have the interest to learn about them.

-school: when I don't understand how to do a process in a math problem, I usually ask someone else to explain to me how to do it, and later I will know how to do it.

-culture: normally, when people are driving in a new city, they ask pedestrians how to get to some place. By getting an answer, they clear their doubts and now, they know how to get to their destination.

-life: when I have doubts in my personal life, I ask my mom or friends. For example, when I want to know if the boy I like is a player, I ask people that know him so I am aware of his personality.
