Yeah, I think it's safe to say that "reality" is a consensus thing, while "truth" is determined on an individual's basis.

"...Of what can we be certain except this- that we are fertilized by mysterious circumstances? Where is man's truth to be found? Truth is not that which can be demonstrated by the air of logic. If orange-trees are hardy and rich in fruit in this bit of soil and not that, then this bit of soil is what is truth for orange-trees. If a particular religion, or culture, or scale of values, if one form of activity rather than another, brings self-fulfillment to a man, releases the prince within him unknown to himself, then that scale of values, that culture, that form of activity constitutes his truth."

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Wind, Sand, and Stars)

Great posts here!

Questionning truth/reality is the birthplace of questionning yourself.

A couple of years ago, I was really high and i started wondering about how reality could be perceived.
I came up with this 'theory';
If you were capable of being someone else than yourself, if you were to see how someone else sees, think how someone else thinks, if you were basically capable of being someone else, then truth would immediately reveal itself to you.
Like Bleak said, our individual view of reality is a partial one, an incomplete one.
I think that two different views of reality is all it would take for one to have a complete knowledge of Truth.

Even better; if you were able to see YOURSELF from someone else's point of view, if you were to witness a perception of yourself other than your own, here again, truth would reveal itself to you!

I know none of this is possible, but i still like to play with that idea, i still like to imagine how it would be like if this were possible. You should try it out!
