What does it mean to See?

[Devourment]

I've been juggling this thought around in my head for the past couple of days, and after reading HNM's status it sparked the motivation to make this thread. I've put it in debate only because I anticipate that some arguments will probably pop up as this thread will be dealing almost entirely with opinions. So, let me get started.

What does it mean to See?

Can someone go from Seeing to not Seeing?

Does someone have to love Avatar and the Na'vi culture to See?

Can someone think they See but in reality they do not?

As far as I am concerned, being able to See is valuing and respecting community/family relationships and maintaining a strong respect and admiration for nature and all that it has given us(I held this view even before viewing Avatar). I think that there are people out there who fit the definition of Seeing who have never even seen the movie Avatar. I don't think that anyone who can See can really change, because forsaking values that go that deep in someone doesn't really seem possible to me. This being said, I think Seeing can go to an even deeper level, so that even people who think they See in reality aren't getting the big picture. I know some people who think they See but it's pretty damn obvious to me and other that they don't.
