How the seen looks depends on how the seer sees.

You cannot say something about something without revealing something about yourself.

Reading, seeing, and hearing happen way more often than understanding.

Completely different impressions of someone can each be created by a selection of facts, or even a single fact, from the very same collection of facts about them.

Looking but not seeing is the hearing but not understanding of the eye.
