lol....well, the comments he made about me were not accurate, so, even though he felt them to be true, they were in fact, not. what 'seemed' real to him was not real to me...so the comment was a polite way of telling him that i disagreed with his assessment of me. im a fun- loving brat who seems to miff some people with my flippant attitude. i could very well respond in a sassy way but im trying to be on my best behaviour so that i dont affend anyone, although i havent been entirely successful here it seems. ;-^(
in a way, reality is in the eye of the beholder. sure there is your basic fundamental reality, but we also have to consider the voracity of the mind to create its own reality, whether it be through hallucinations, psychosis or whatever...what may seem real to you may seem like a vague cloud to me...i dont think reality is universal because of that wonderful companion of humans called imagination, which has the potential to create illusions and misrepresentations. although these may be considered as unreal, they certainly are not to the one experiencing them...but what do i know?
