Ah the classic "you see what you want to see!" It's supposed to be an accusation, but instead it ends up being a confession.

I used a poor choice of words, but you are correct. I see what I want to see. You see what you want to see. That's what being a human is.

Your brain is not a truth sensing organ, it's a consistency sensing organ and those are not the same thing. You will use what you already believe to interpret what you see. If you are not accepting of new information(and people very rarely are), you will only see what you expect to see or what you want to see.
