Do you think what ever you see is correct?

It is, minimally, more correct than things I do not see. One could be philosophical and ask, "Is anything real?"; but for all intent and purpose, things I see are real. I don't like the philosophy of doubting the physical world. It is okay to believe in things. I once knew a friend who took the same philosophy class as myself at my local college. Our professor asked, "Does that chair exist?" He then smartly responded, "I do not know whether or not the chair exists, but it is there!"
Thats the truth for me. If I see it, it is there. If it is there, then it exists. Whether or not it is every thing I believe it to be, is the real issue. People have always believed that the Earth existed, however the state in which they believed it existed (flat) is different then our modern vision of the Earth based on science and satellite imagery (round).

its okay to say that if some thing exists if truly does it. But if that appearance is temporary that some thing deludes us. A temporary thing may promise us that it exitst forever. but there is a day for its end. So I feel that temporary things always try to delude us.

I personally think it is religion that deludes us, more than any thing. I have personally kind of moved on from any idea of any permanency. In a way, that makes every little thing; however temporary and fleeting it is, more special in many ways. Religion gives people hope of some sort of eternity, however it doesn't give them proof. I find it better to belief in the vast emptiness of the world, and to live for the moments and enjoy those people and things you come to enjoy for your brief period here. The grave comes and all is meaningless.
