A friend complained,”My girlfriend said I don’t listen when she talks, but in fact I do.”
“Reality is subjective.” I replied.
So does everything else. Someone had said life is fiction. I didn’t understand what he meant at the time. But in reality everything depends on the point of view. If reality is abstract then everything is fiction.
It’s too scary to think culture, tradition and moral values are fictions that we love to drown ourselves in. And to think that there are other “books” out there with different plots, that some of us will read them and come up with different sets of reality—no wonder the world is in constant conflicts.
It was a freeing moment for my friend. He started to name: time, space, measurements…things that we invent that seem so one dimensional and yet they are not. How many facets are there in the looking glass?
