Typically, it is challenging to differentiate what is real from what is false. The discussion below shows why the video about Descartes’ Metaphysical Meditations has profoundly affected my life on my beliefs on the things I think they are true or false.
First, the video has made me start doubting most of the things which I believe they are real. As per the Descartes, he realized that some of the things he believed in were false as he grew. This fact has also applied to my personal experience. When I was young as I traveled in a car, I used to think that trees and buildings were moving. As I grew, I came to realize that I was wrong. This video has made me know maybe there are things which I now believe at maybe wrong only that I have not realized it yet, just as I thought the trees were moving.

Secondly, this video has opened mind and drew me out of my opinion that senses are the most reliable source of information. Before seeing this video, I was among the many people who always believe in what they see, smell, taste, hear and touch. According to the Descartes in this video, senses still fail us. For instance, I may taste food while I am hungry and feel that it is delicious, but when I Taste the same food while not hungry, I find it not delicious. Thus the video has affected my life in such a way that I have lost trust in my senses.
Lastly, the video has affected my life by showing that some of the things I believe am doing might be illusions in my mind. The fact that I cannot personally differentiate a dream from the real actions has made me doubt everything I do. For most cases, I had dreamt doing things in which while in the dream I believed they were real, only to realize later it was a dream when I woke up. It has made me know that anything which I am doing might be a dream only that I have not woken up to realize it is a dream.
