What is reality?

Comments

Reality is subjective, it's not the state of things as they are or exist it's how we perceive them.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's a good definittion of a personal reality...

But a global reality?

[inspectorjury.livejournal.com]

Turn the jar of life upside down and shake out all the unreality. Turn the jar upright and what's left is reality. Look close.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

There is only the jar :D

REALITY, n.
The dream of a mad philosopher. That which would remain in the cupel if one should assay a phantom. The nucleus of a vacuum.

Or:

Something that exists independently of ideas concerning it.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I like the second definition :D

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

I like the nucleus of a vaccuum.

What do you want it to be?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I want it to be real...

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

Whatever one's mind accepts.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

The mind can accept a lot...

[laurel714.livejournal.com]

The little white lies we tell ourselves to cope from day to day.

Wow, that sounds entirely jaded and cynical.

:-)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:P

But that's a personal reality!!!

[mysticpickle.livejournal.com]

The information that holds the most truth when you least want to hear it.

[wingswithwar.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THIS!!! **STANDING OVATION!!**

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Very true :)

[lipzofs0rr0w.livejournal.com]

a conspiracy.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Isn't the conspiracy the attempt to hide reality?

[lipzofs0rr0w.livejournal.com]

Reality is perception, therefore each person has a different reality, because no one views EVERYTHING the same. As a result it is a conspiracy that there is even a *reality*, because all it really is, is how you view events and how you handle them. Reality cannot be generalized like they try to do.

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

Whatever I say it is, subject to change at my whim.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

But are there things you can't change?

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

Perception is reality. Are there laws of physics? Sure. But even those I can interpret any way I choose. Creation or evolution, fetus or child. What's reality?

[wingswithwar.livejournal.com]

An example of reality: You pick your nose.

An example of denial: No you don't pick your nose, you NEVER pick your nose, you aren't that gross.

The fact is, you still pick your nose.

The fact is the reality.

Your perception of that reality is what ever you chose to do with that fact.

Fact is, it is a normal human behaviour to pick your nose.

So if philosophy proves right: The only time you can reasonably hold fast to reality is when you are picking your nose.

Everything else is fantasy.

Yeah. . .I think that's how it works.

**dizzies off to lala land again**

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Well then let me stand proud and say:

I PICK MY NOSE
