I agree with keeping an open mind, but if you have not witnessed something I don't see how you can logically say you believe in it.

Don't blindly believe in anything just cuz you like the idea, get some proof first.

i'm not blindly believing brotha - to me it's more about not blindly disbelieving.

We know our eyes are limited in a number of ways -- even as simple as needing telescopes to see certain stars and microscopes to see certain cells.

We use technology to overcome our physical limitations - but even the technology we advance is based originally on the limitations we perceive (e.g. what can we do to see a little further out or a little closer up).

At the same point though, definitely not on a wall here trying to say everyone should believe in ghosts --- i'm just saying that i wouldn't rely on 'my' (or our) limited senses to arrive at a conclusion.

But i think that is where the a big, and fair, difference can be between people on this topic (and perhaps you and i), the overall argument perhaps could be boiled down to:

"if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"...

without ears to hear it - does it matter? without eyes to see it, does it even exist?

sincerely not trying to speak in riddles here, it's just what I really believe regarding this type of stuff -- even outside of my own beliefs whether ghosts exist or not -- some people believe until proven otherwise, some people believe until they experience themselves, some people believe and disbelieve based on others experiences

at the end of the day, i believe eyes do just as much to deceive as they do to validate.

you know what i mean?
