The way our eyes work is so much more disturbing, as far as I am concerned. Especially with there being no actual colors in the world, but only what our eyes interpret as color due to the make-up of our eyes and the light spectrum. Creepy.

I don't know.

Are emotions fake, too?

As far as emotions are concerned, I have not thought about that enough to make a comment.

Yeh you can know you don't know something. I don't know what you're thinking while you read this, I can take a guess but I don't know.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
