Seeing, as to objects and solid forms, is convincing, true, but how in the world can I see love or dislike? If someone says they like me, how do I know that inside their "like" a dislike or resentment doesn't lie hidden?

The same goes for all the intangibles in our experiences. Love, hope, faith, and trust—all important for our existence—are unseen forces; yet, they influence our every relationship, interaction, decision, and perspective. They uplift us in moments of happiness and keep us alive and sane through difficult times.

Also, other concepts like time and gravity are important for our survival. Just imagine one of these going haywire! What if gravity didn't pull objects to the ground, suddenly? Can you imagine the consequences?

What we experience inside us that others cannot see are real just as well and even more strongly. Our thoughts, dreams, and emotions are all parts of our self and identity, for they provide us with creativity, ideas, and memories. They also have a say in how we connect to one another. Such as, our love of writing connects us to the other members of WdC, here, even if we never meet them in person.

All these things are like the wind. They are unseen but felt.

And believe me, wind is sometimes more real than anything. I should know, living in Florida, with the hurricanes and their winds.
