Everything you see or hear happens in your brain.

There is a story related to this.
A baby was born who had an impaired vision. He saw the color “green” as “red” and “red” as “green”. As he grew up, his mother taught him colors. He saw red and understood it as green and vice versa. He enjoyed the greenery which he saw as red. He was scared of green blood.
His father showed him the traffic lights. He learnt that when he saw green he has to stop and move he saw red. He never met with an accident.
He was appointed for the job of railway guard where he always used green flag to signal a train to stop. And no trains met with accident because of his signals.
Now, tell me, do we see what others see? May be not.
