Reality

Have you ever experienced something that you can't quite remember, remember incorrectly, or what you felt did not correspond with what actually happened? For example, you might think you placed your keys on your table, and after you can't it, rethink back, and you were absolutely sure you couldn't had left it anywhere else, when suddenly your brother/sister/mother/friend pops out of nowhere and says they found it in your bag? Or maybe once when you hear a knock on the door, yet when you go check it, nobody's there. I'm sure everyone has experienced something like this at one point or another. When you think about it, our perceptions and senses are not always that reliable. Optical illusions are a stark reminder of the limitations of our perceptions.


AHHHHH!

So what right? Sometimes we get a few things wrong here and there, no big deal right? Well, that's until you realize that when we make such "mistakes" in our perceptions, we have no way of knowing until after the event, in which the "truth" is affirmed to us through again, our perceptions. In other words, we can only affirm our perceptions through other perceptions. Or, another way of saying that is, we have no way of knowing, at any time, whether our perceptions are true or not. Fuuu-
