Apophenia;

I don't quite know why I like the word "Apophenia." Perhaps it's because I learned it from a graphic novel :/ hmm... I don't even think it's in the dictionary.
It's a condition where you see things that aren't really there (not like ghosts and stuff... more like optical illusions. Confusing? Yeah. I know. Eh... it's a psychology word... and a crazy confusing concept.). As human beings, we all have degrees of Apophenia. for example, when I draw this

:)

what do we all see?
a face of course. But what is it really?
it's just a colon and a parenthesis.
and what are the colon and parenthesis really?
just pixels on a screen lighting up in a specific order.
and what are pixels?
...
it goes on and on and on.
it really makes me feel like an absurdist or a nihilist (or that might just be Mr. Mau's class XD). Because nothing is ever just what it seems,. Everything has some deeper particles of existence that are altogether meaningless by themselves, though crucial to the make up of the whole idea, principle, object as a whole.

anyways, Our brains make connections to things subconciously. FASCINATING! (I wanna take psychology)
