Your thoughts on "reality", amplified by Karen's...

provide much fodder for our consideration in terms of what we, as individuals, understand about our existence, and what we know to be "truth." The components of "truth" may be as much subjective as they are objective. Reality is not necessarily what "is", but is as much what we perceive and believe it to be. Perhaps the central point of those insights is that no one else should challenge each of our own visions of truth ... because the visions and perceptions that each of us have ARE the truth because our inner consciousness makes them so. (Clumsily stated, but the gist of it).

This discussion is taking place of Beanies ....

Am I the only one struck by the irony ...

That we spent a year on this thread ... destroyed friendships ... created new and bitter enemies.... left behind a wide swath of bitter feelings ....

All because we could not accept that there might be more than one perception of .... TRUTH?
