No solon. I can have it both ways, or no way. You don't call the shots in my reality. You can only call them in your own, which was my point, in a way. You are only truly and ultimately real to you. You and only you choose what reality to believe in. You are fairly real to people who know you in your 3d self, but you cannot make them be part of your reality. Their perception of you may be different from the one you have of yourself. For example you may consider yourself truthful, but you could be self deluded and come off as a liar. You are significantly less real to people who know "you" here, and who have a mental image of you that is a product of their own imaginations and the posts the "real" you decided to post. There was nothing snide in the post Solon. That comes from you. I merely state the obvious- that most people are in denial about many aspects of their lives.
