Descartes says that we are supposed to be rational beings, that we have to disconnect ourselves from our senses. I have tried to do that this week but it is harder than it seems. I have come to realize that we are very reliant on our senses for absolutely everything. We have become reliant and know only what we hear, see, feel, touch or smell; the worst part is that we accept it. We accept that our senses are right but what if they are not? What if what Descartes says is true? That God is just a great deceiver that he is tricking us into feeling, smelling, touching, or seeing. I honestly don’t know how that would affect everything what if something was just a big lie?
