"Perception is reality" -DH
Is this statement not entirely true? Everything we see, we see the way we want to see it. We don't know how someone else sees things because we only have our own two eyes. We take in what we see and "know" and that is what reality is to us. Everyone has their own reality. Does that kind of freak anyone else out? There is no reality for everyone. Interestingly enough, even though it's scary in a way, it's also pretty cool. No one can tell me how to live or what to do or who to be. If I want to fly a kite every day for the next 6 months I will because I can. If I want to walk backwards up every set of stairs I come across I will because I can. If I want to kiss my best friend everyday I will because I can. If I want to go out and drink a pint of rum every weekend, I will because I can. This is the bittersweet thing about having your own reality. You choose everything! On that note don't forget that just as you perceive your own reality others will too. And those whose realities don't match yours will be judging every choice you ever make. They wont care if kites make you laugh. They wont care if walking backwards makes you feel good because it challenges your mind. They wont care if you're in love with your best friend...they'll just think you're a slut. They also wont care if all the judging people have driven you to drink as much as you do. People collect surface facts and nothing more. So yes perception is reality. You have the freedom to choose yours. However by choosing your own, you submit yourself and your reality to the judgements and perceptions of others. Just a thought...
