Interpreting Reality

Once you experience a thought, vision, sound, feeling, or sensation you are seeing things through a filter of your own beliefs and brain capacity. It is your own reality and no others'. And yet, the relation between reality and one's mind is what we call "truth." Ontological unity is a struggle because truth is an individuals' perception. It can only be known in the context of their own perception. So, as Nietzsche would argue, their is no absolute truth. When a majority "agrees" on a truth, we tend to call it real. When we understand that what is real for you might be different from what is real for me, then we are better able to navigate through social situations and communications. When we come from this place we are able to listen with more compassion and not take things personally.
