Where are we.

So what is reality? Is reality really that which we see, touch , experience? Are our senses and perception really giving us an absolute experience of reality? But taking that the world in which we experience now is reality and we're all not trapped in the matrix thing, what is this world in which we exist in?

Many believe reality can be explained, in a complex series of laws and theories. No. Our laws, units, symbols and concepts are but a representation of the reality around us. The natural world is far too random, erratic, unpredictable, natural to be properly understood by mankind. In our attempts to understand, reality has been simplified to general forms; units of measurement like mass, time, length, etc. These basic concepts are then used to construct laws and such of how we believe the world functions. This then corresponds with our sequential mode of thinking and allows for articulation and expression. However, the representation of reality is not reality. What is reality? Can it truely be explained or described, especially with human words and language?

A pity. Time not being in my favour, this session is closed.
