On Reality.

Okay, so I thought about all this last night and now I'm just trying to piece it all back together.

Everyone has a different reality.
There is no such thing as one reality; rather, there are tons of different realities.
How I am in my reality is different than how you percieve me in your reality.
So what's real?

Well, that's for each individual to choose for themselves, I'd say.

I see these realities as our electron clouds... We are the nuclei, our realities are the electron clouds. Our bonds? Yes, those are in the form of art and communication- Literature, Fine Art, Language, Sound, Movies... so on and so forth. They are how we try to share our realities with one another. Of course, it's really impossible to truly share them. Even if you are in the same room as someone, witnessing the same things, you see them from different angles and have different thoughts running through your head that influence the situation. Ya know?

And as for everyone having different realities...
Things exist in my reality that may not exist in other people's based upon subjectivity.
Isn't that weird?
How, for example, Henry David Thoreau has been ingrained in my thinking process...
But to some people he doesn't even exist?

I find that to be fascinating, and diverse, and while I cannot experience everyone else's realities, I sure love to try to make those bonds (covalent, ionic, whatever you like), and try to get glimpses of the perspectives of others.

Another thing, along the tangent of existence and non-existence based on subjectivity...
It's impossible to imagine new objects. While you can create cartoons or drawings or even fictional characters, these are simply mixtures of all the things you've seen before. So our imagination is used for mix-and-matching things we've already seen, or creating scenarios of events. We cannot, however, imagine the unimaginable. I thought about this A LOT last night, and it kind of makes sense to me. But if anyone has any exceptions I'd like to know (I just haven't imagined any exceptions yet...).

I suppose everyone realizes this, and it's kind of common sense. I just find it fun to contemplate, even if it was at 2:30 AM last night.
