Society And Reality

[Primus7]

This is just this idea i have had lately. Every person has their own reality based off every thing in their life, i have learned to think past that reality and look at everything in a wider view (i am not sure how many other people have, but i think it is important). Ever since, i feel as though i have taken a big step wich i feel has helped me see problems from a different perspective. How many of you out there think like this?

Everyone has a different subjective reality, I agree. We all look at things different. There allso is a somehwat collective subjective reality, like civilisation or society are.

[/b] if you were able to look at everything at once, a complete general view of the whole world, what would it be like? everything is different...

Why don't you use your intimidatingly wide worldview to be more specific. Some examples would be nice.

Every person has their own reality based off every thing in their life, i have learned to think past that reality and look at everything in a wider view (i am not sure how many other people have, but i think it is important). Ever since, i feel as though i have taken a big step intellectually as i can see the problem from a different perspective. I do not think enough people in my school think this way and stay contained in a tiny little world of theirs and have no clue about the world around them in and its entirety. How many of you out there think like this? [/b] Every step toward what many call "enlightenment," you'll find significant. Realizing that there "is a rational stance outside the box" is probably going to stick with you for a very long time. This leads the way toward empathy, in which you'll not only be able to see the world from a perspective that was different from your own, but you'll really start to understand why it is that people see the world from their perspectives, as well. As you become more familiar with these concepts you'll become more and more aware of how much of (your) life there is left to learn that so many people are, sometimes understandably, ignorant of.

[/b] woo answers, thank you! thats some deep shit, i am guessing its something out of buddhism because of the words "step" and "enlightenment" Why don't you use your intimidatingly wide worldview to be more specific. Some examples would be nice. [/b] maybe you need to read some more of this.

I don't think we could even imagen that, we are parts of a system (the universe/time/ect.), so we can't really see the system from the outsite properly. We can just speculate.

Being a small part of a system, imprisoned inside, we cannot observe it from the far.
