There's your problem right there. Do a little research on neurology, our perceptions and the fallibility of the human brain. You seek truth from personal experience, but the truth is that our personal experiences are just flawed reflections of reality at their very best. Study after study shows that our brains are very poor at actually determining and understanding what is going on around us.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
