What is reality...
reality to me changes on a daily basis. As I try to navigate through life, life seems to twist and turn to morph in things that it used to not be. As I look back, I see things much more clearly and I think, ah. I guess that is what we call 20/20 hindsight.
I also look back and see things that used to be so simple and now they are more complex than I could have ever imaged. I think to myself, how did this get so complicated and why did it change. Did it change or did I change? It is this kind of thought process that makes me question if reality is a singular thing or if it changes.
Maybe reality is something that unravels and as you live life you gain a greater clarity on what exactly reality is. As you live, your focus sharpens on some aspects, other loose their focus and therefore become confusing and not as simple.
Ultimately I believe that there is one reality but does anyone really get to experience it or are we all experiencing what each other believes is reality and so therefore act according to our reality.
I have heard the saying, "in the eyes of the beholder." Does that mean that reality takes on different forms depending on the person? It all depends on our perception of reality and not reality itself?
All I know is that reality is a mystical thing that eludes me and each life experience I have seems to form my ever changing reality!
It is sort of nice to know that reality could be what we see, how wee see it and it can be different for everyone. I have to deal with many mentally ill people and their realities are very different from us in general. But if their realities make them happen, shouldn't they stay in that reality?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Id the reality you live in is working for you, you shouldn't change it. Thanks for the comment
