Seeing beside Looking; Looking besides Seeing

We look forward to seeing things, then we see things to forward to. So you have to ask yourself what's the difference. The difference by definition is that looking is being able to physically recognize an object, person, or thing. Seeing is when the brain processes the information based on prior knowledge, and assigns meaning to the images received. So clearly there is a scientific separation between these two words however their use and meaning go hand in hand in understanding cognitive ability.

The best concept of this is art and creativity. Everyone has their own definition and degree of what art is and it is in that sense of creativity, Seeing and Looking plays in everyone's favor. I believe the culprit behind this is motivation and inspiration.
