Reality is a word you perceive yourself to have just read. Read back and see it changed, a place holder for radical new opinion. The meaning that strikes you grows into new context and new definition each time the word is invoked. It claws at the borders of your graspable mind as it crawls through your eyes; reality. It must mean something, for it can be read; talons dig into soft flesh in an act of linguistic agriculture. Do you know the word, or does the word know you?

A reflection taken from a mirror too large to imagine projected onto a verbal atom; reality. The encompassing of the omniscience within your relativity, a beacon of hope to suggest the un-conveyable. But we feel we must conclude upon it; how else to be at peace with each other, if we are not real together? How can we know the world whole if we can not know the whole world? But you know you could never know the entirety- or could you? Exasperated teeth devour an intoxicating unknown at the exponential rate only they know the taste of; F = mA, V = IR, E = MC^2!

An atom bomb goes off in the distance.

Reconcile the pieces. A sobering fallout of death and silence. What fell apart must fit back together somehow, if only we had a better formula. Trudge onward into a reality ever larger than you, ever more cruel. Dig through the corpses, find the clues; at such a great cost comes the chasing of reality. Conclude that more of it must be known before all of it can be understood.


--------------------
Know your self.
Know your substance.
Know your source.

The most distorted perspective possible is the perspective that yours is not distorted.

But the atom bomb utilizes fission, the splitting of a whole into pieces. No, I've not much interest in dividing into reconcilable pieces that which has no need for reconciliation without me, though I will scan the ruins for evidence that the more that must be known is the folly of this nuclear destruction - that problem is not just my reality, because you describe it too and others see the ruins too.

I cannot conclude on what the rubble was or is or could be if reconstructed, nor could I say how each will look at such a structure from each vantage, but I can say "Yes, this rubble is destruction, and no we don't have to live in a nuclear wasteland all our lives, accepting the strewn pieces nearest to us and leaving the others to theirs." Why not meet up and explore the wreckage together, with neither formula nor map but a mutual curiosity?

No, I could never understand the pieces you grew up with - my glimpse is not your life - but here we both are; no need for a lowest-common-denominator consensual or summary word for it, but one with some hint of unconveyable scope may be used. Though the point here is perhaps that it cannot be, that the word understood is not translatable, what is understood need not be translated.

yeah im making a definitive statement that reality is not definitive and im not implying a definitive knowledge of what reality is by saying that. im merely saying that there is no answer and its not definitive. yes its a definitive statement but it is in no way related. i dont understand why its so difficult for someone to agree when we're talking about the same damn thing. its clear that you have a fondness for arguing or something. i could say the same things about you and point out specific things that are contradictory but i wont cus its a waste of time and we're talking about the same thing. :rolleyes:


--------------------

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

Usually I take the words of "no definitive reality" (or some such) to mean a nihilistic or disconnected outlook on life (i.e. "your reality has no relation to mine"), and I read this into your posts. If we can communicate that we are talking about the same thing, our agreement is a definitive reality, a definitive part of an indefinite mystery. :thumbup:

So I apologize for misinterpreting you.

Too many arguments are founded on rigid dictions set in opposition. I had just added that signature, too...
