Can We Truly Perceive Reality? What Is Reality?
Reality is the state of things as they exist and it encompasses everything that exists in the physical world, as well as all of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
Reality Has No Connection To Belief
Belief means nothing to Reality
Reality is not simply what we believe to be true, but rather the true state of things as they exist.
Reality exists independently of our beliefs, opinions, and interpretations.
It is accepted by most people as the basis for making decisions, forming opinions, and assigning importance to events…
Interactions Transpire As Reality
Reality can also be defined in terms of interactions between individuals and the world, described as the way the world appears to us when we interact with it.
In this sense, reality can be said to be a shared experience among individuals.
Bias Overshadows Reality
Our perception of reality can often be distorted by our emotional and cognitive biases.
COGNITIVE BIAS:
a phenomenon that causes our thinking and decision-making to be impacted by pre-existing beliefs, attitudes, and experiences, leading us to make irrational choices.
These biases can lead us to make decisions that are not in our best interest, or to see the world in a way that is not accurate.
Benefit Of Isolation
However, when we are alone in isolation, we have the opportunity to confront these biases and to see the world more clearly.
We can take the time to reflect on our thoughts and emotions and challenge our assumptions about the world.
In doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
We can also develop greater empathy and compassion for others, as we come to see that we are all connected in our struggles and our joys.
Ultimately, the power of solitude lies in its ability to help us grow and become better versions of ourselves.
Importance of Disentangling Emotions from Reality
While it is crucial to acknowledge and recognize our emotions, it is equally important to learn how to disentangle them from our perception of reality.
This necessitates a conscious effort to perceive the world as it truly is, devoid of the influence of our emotions.
By doing so, we can gain a more profound comprehension of ourselves and the world, and make more knowledgeable and objective decisions. In this manner, we can surmount our biases and emotional distortions, and approach reality with lucidity and discernment.
