reality

He hurt me,_ I whispered, feeling a lump in my throat.__nd he__l probably hurt you again._ But you know what?_ You__l hurt him too._ When you__e with someone for a long time, it__ impossible not to feel hurt." - Larene.

Life is not fair, get used to it

I'm very gullible when it comes to my own words. I believe everything I say, though I know I am a liar.

If they keep coming back to you, it isn't love. It is because you made yourself and easy option. The moment the thing they truly want becomes less difficult to obtain is when you will realize that your worth was on sale.

To lose a problem, do not oppose, let go of any need to control, perhaps it's all an illusion we project, more like a game we play than real?

Built on the insubstantial foundation of our feelings, the life we had created together seemed a figment of our imaginations that dissolved into fairy dust in the face of something real, and deadly, like cancer.

But that wouldn't be honest. That wouldn't be real. That would give you the idea that a life is a simple thing to tell, that it's obvious where to start--BIRTH--and even more obvious where to stop--DEATH. Fade from black to black. I won't have it. I won't be one of the hundreds telling you that being alive flows like a story you write consciously, deliberately, full of linear narrative, foreshadowing, repetition, motifs. The emotional beats come down where they should, last as long as they should, end when they should, and that 'should' come from somewhere real and natural, not from the tyranny of the theatre, the utter hegemony of fiction. Why, isn't living easy? Isn't it grand? As easy as reading aloud.No.If I slice it all up and stitch it back together, you might not understand what I've been trying to say all my life: that any story is a lie cunningly told to hide the real world from the poor bastards who live in it. I can't. I can't tell you that lie...If I fixed it so time goes the way you expect, you might come away thinking I know what the hell I'm doing.

Reality is a challenge.

it is with this same imperialism that present-day simulators attempt to make the real, all of the real, coincide with their models of simulation.

One is often unconsciously surrounded by one__ own personal reality

Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal.

It's not about how long you can live , it's about how long you can forget and forgive.

We welcome into our homes the machines that vacuum the thoughts out of our heads and pump in someone else's. John Berger in Ways of Seeing said that television advertisers succeeded by persuading viewers to envy themselves as they would be if they bought the product. These programmes do something similar, by persuading the viewer to envy himself as he would be if his life were that little bit more exciting and melodramatic than it actually is. They can make things seem normal that are not.

It is often asserted that, in view of the situation in quantum theory, object and subject can no longer be sharply separated. 1 To use Heitler__ words, the __eparation of the world into an __bjective outside reality_, and __s_, the self-conscious onlookers, can no longer be maintained. Object and subject become inseparable from each other_. 2 This, according to Bohr, is due to __he impossibility of any sharp separation between the behaviour of atomic objects and the interaction with the measuring instruments which serve to define the conditions under which the phenomena appear_. 3 Heitler elaborates the point in some detail. __ne may ask_, he writes, __f it is sufficient to carry out a measurement by a self-registering apparatus or whether the presence of an observer is required._ And he arrives at the conclusion that the self-registering apparatus is insufficient, and that __he observer appears, as a necessary part of the whole structure, and in his full capacity as a conscious being_.

She lost touch with reality and was dragged into her imagination.

Perception and reality are soul mates! They always support each other and even like to hide behind each other.

The liturgy of the Eucharist is best understood as a journey or procession. It is the journey of the Church into the dimension of the Kingdom. We use the word 'dimension' because it seems the best way to indicate the manner of our sacramental entrance into the risen life of Christ. Color transparencies 'come alive' when viewed in three dimensions instead of two. The presence of the added dimension allows us to see much better the actual reality of what has been photographed. In very much the same way, though of course any analogy is condemned to fail, our entrance into the presence of Christ is an entrance into a fourth dimension which allows us to see the ultimate reality of life. It is not an escape from the world, rather it is the arrival at a vantage point from which we can see more deeply into the reality of the world.
