What Is Reality?
What is reality?
It's a question I've been pondering recently.
Example - I could be at a soccer match, stood next to a fan of the opposition, when a significant game turning event takes place on the field of play. Now we will both see this event through our own prejudices. What I see as a blatent foul he see's as an accidental clash. We both witnessed the same incident so why do we not come to differing conclusions?
Another Example - A neighbour tells me he worships the little green fairies that appear at the bottom of his garden. Now in my own reality I NEVER see these fairies, but in his reality they're there all the time. The belief in God is an essential part of current global politics, yet my neighbours belief in little green fairies gets him locked away as a 'madman'!
So, what is reality? I.M.O every individual has his or her own perception of what reality actually is.
