Tom Hanks stated that “believing is seeing, and seeing is believing.” In my opinion of a common saying, I strongly agree that seeing is believing. I have this friend who would have straight A’s on everything. One time, she told me that she had a B on one of her assignments, and I didn’t believe her. She showed me her assignment and I was surprised because she actually told the truth. One reason why I believe this is that when you first see something, you know that it’s real. Another reason is that some things are said but you don’t know if it’s true, so you’d want to see it for yourself. Therefore, I believe that the common saying, “seeing is believing”, is true.
First of all, when you first see something with your very own eyes, you know that it’s real. For example, a piece in a folktale, “The People Could See”, shows what the slave owners saw and believed what took place. It states “So they say. The Overseer told it. The one called Master said it was a lie, a trick of light. The Driver kept his mouth shut.” The slave owners knew it wasn’t a “trick of light” because they saw the slaves flying away to freedom.

Unless, of course, you have some reason for thinking this call is phony and that someone may be planning to murder you?” In this scenario, Duffy, a sergeant from the Police Department, does not believe that Mrs. Stevenson is telling the truth that she is getting murdered, because he doesn’t see the evidence. Thus, you don’t believe what is heard but you believe what is
