Perception
This morning I beat my alarm clock by about 2 hours. I hate my alarm clock it has one of the most annoying alarms ive ever heard. Well It has to go off three times before just hitting the off button works. So it had gone off twice and I was sitting at my computer waiting for it to go off a third time and I had some music playing. Suddenly I think I hear it so I go to my room and there's no alarm. I wanted so badly to turn it off its last time so I could do what I was doing without being interupted that my brain transfixed the sound of the alarm into the music i was listening to and I fooled myself into thinking it was going off. This brings up the question of how often does this happen to all of us every single day. How many things do we hear that our brain interprets differently from what the situation really is? How can we prove anything to be real.
