Have you ever heard of the common saying “seeing is believing.” For the people who don’t know this common saying, it means that you have to see what happen to believe what has happen. I truly believe this common saying is true. This is because most people in this world would tell a lie. To know that they aren’t pulling your leg, you need to see it to believe that it happens.
