“We do not really see with our eyes or hear through our ears, but through our beliefs.” -Lisa Delpit
This is a quote from Lisa Delpit in the article The Art of Awareness. I think that this quote means that we all have our own beliefs that make us who we are today. This quote is very significant to me because it talks about how humans are seeing the world now and how they are not really seeing their true identity and place in the world. It makes me think that people often forget their identity and what they really see or hear in this world. We must learn how to understand ourselves and others and who we really are and who others really are. This quote doesn't really make me think of one specific memory, but just generalizations. For example, it makes me think that people won't get along for this reason because they won't agree with the methods or ways they are doing something. A good example can be taken from The Art of Awareness. If you are a teacher and you and your co-teacher don't get along and don't agree on how to handle children, it can be problematic. Jill, a toddler teacher, states, "We shouldn't start out thinking one of us is right and one is wrong. We need to find ways to have more open conversations. If people can find their true identity and see the world for how it really is, we will live in a much more content environment.
