We all have our own unique version of reality, which we all compile from our own

distorted perceptions, often faulty,  but our own resistance to see what really is

has always been what becomes a stumbling block to us all.  Call it just being

stubborn, close-mindedness, or whatever you want, the result is our slanting what

is real. Faulty perceptions have always been our downfall.  Failure to view what is

does not, nor has it ever, stopped the effect of what is.  We have reaped the

benefits and the pitfalls of this constantly because we refuse even the possibility

that we should be riding the wave of what is, or get the hell out of the way of it. To

paraphrase Ayn Rand: We can deny reality, we can’t deny the effects of reality.

Reality is there, but the perspective that  one takes in viewing that reality

does not change it or affect it, but how we choose to see it is our reaction, right or

wrong.  Depending on your perspective, you may see a glass of water as half

full or half empty, that does not affect the reality; some water is there, it could save

one from dying of thirst or drown you, what one experiences depends alot on how

you see it, yet it is always there.  Each individual should have their own way of

seeing, not only do they have their very own individual viewing point, it does not

change what is seen, just how what is seen.
