“Not only do we tend to think about the world according to what we want to see and what we need to see, we tend to think in terms of what we expect to see.”
I strongly agree with this statement, as people can easily make predictions in our mind, and it is what causes most accidents to happen. You expect the road to be clear, then BAM! Someone ran a red light, but you could not react quick enough as you didn’t expect it, you predicted something different.
