Reality

Sun Jan 4, 2009, 12:35 PM
If my imagination is part of my own reality(as I assume it is), then is the definitive reality?
I don't know if there are any other realities out there: there's no way anyone can show me their individual reality, so if I accept that my own reality is the definitive reality then what is in my head can become real.
But surely this is what madness is? Accepting that individual reality is definitive reality- and so everything in your head is real. I experimented with this a while ago by trying to see something that I knew wasn't real: I almost suceeded. I only stopped myself because I knew this was the start of a slippery slope into paranoia.

Hmmm.
I came to the conlusion that if something isn't tangible it can be altered- this includes sight, feelings, beliefs and thoughts. You can see, feel, believe and think whatever you want but being able to will something touchable into existance is beyond us.

But, let's face it, I'm 15. I'm not exactly old enough to be a great philosopher. I couldn't sleep last night so this load of bullshit came out.

I think that's a good basic rule, if you can touch it, you can't control it.

O mai.

I'd like to make an intellechool comment here, seeing as I've just dug my philosophy book out and started reading it.

But 11am is far too early. :iconimhappyplz:

Only thing I remember reading is about tricks that our sight and hearing and such can play on us like seeing something that isn't there or hearing wrong. If we can't be sure of what our senses are telling us regularly then how do we know that anything is real.


That took me five minutes to remember. lulwut.
