"Believe none of what you hear
and half of what you see" - Benjamin Franklin

Words could be altered, whether from direct contact through individuals, previous recording or through electronic based devices. What is heard requires trust and what is seen provides proof; proof is only half the battle, trust on believing the proof sets eligible argument. To have heard would be secondary source contact, one's feed of the "what" is only something you can visualize through trust. One begins to hold account for what is heard, trusting that and only that. Seeing is primary source contact, allowing one to use more then just the sense of hearing. To see sparks proof upon trust of believing. It's like a contract, one cannot have a contract upon words that are heard, if so one would have to offer up to much trust depending on what is at risk. A contract is only legally enforceable through what is seen and or written with base support of proof and trust. Also the quote may not necessarily be so literal, by what is heard could be an understatement of something that just isn't present and by what is seen may be of something in which one has had contact of more than one sense to make sense of it. When something is heard, one knows nothing except what was told, this should spark curiosity to investigate to want to see with one's own eyes. Although even after one has seen it; experienced it at first hand, before believing it, one must take it upon themselves to challenge whether what was seen is worthy of believing.
