Since we choose to believe that reality is what it is, then reality is only a matter of perspective. We believe what we believe because we desperately want it to be true, not because there is any proof that what we believe actually is true...or is even real at all. :-) Very interesting area of philosophy that you have chosen to write about. I really like your work Sarah.
Thank you Kevin. I love the idea of constructing reality from our minds. And I completely agree with you. It is all about perspective. This conversation also reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Nikos Kazantzakis: "By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired."
