Well, let's reflect on those observations. On first apearance they are disconcerting, indeed a tad disturbing. However when assimilated it might encourage us to view our world in a more open and less restricted way.

Events, things, might not be as they are on first appearance. This may encourage us to delve a little further before reaching conclusions.
