I decided that we see by sending out invisible beams from our eyes, that "felt" everything they touched.
And that's why we have to turn our hear and/or eyes to point at things to look at them - we have to point the beams at them.

Yes, that works - if there's no lightbulb or sun to suck up the darkness, the beams can't penetrate it to reach the objects.
