Perspective


- Tanning by Moonlight -

How do we define reality?

Is it what our mortal eyes perceive? Is it by our physical senses? Can't these facilities be deceived and beguiled by a trick of a lens, by a sleight of hand, or perhaps by a chemical in our brain? Does our understanding and interpretation of the signals sent by our body actually change what reality is?

How then, do we define reality?

exactly right. every person has their own sense of it. those who you think are weird, or crazy just live in a different 'reality' than you do.
