REALITY

Photo : Aleksandra Denic

e are poor and sad beings, we humans. We are also proud, we like to stand for what we believe
its right and we think that is a good thing. But the truth is that the most times we are not
aware that our understanding of our surroundings is extremely limited. And I am not talking
abut the the illusive magnitudes of the universe, about the vastness of our galaxy or our solar
system. I am talking about the way we perceive our every day reality in which we live, where we
W need to take actions.

We are bound by our evolutional heritage to experience the world not as it is, but through the tools we inherited.
Our tools are limited, they are without a doubt old evolutional model; it takes time to change those. And even our
most prestigious tool, our vision, is bounded by far too many boundaries to be considered reliable. We can see and
experience just a limited fraction of reality, but yet, we are very much certain that it is the only reality that exists. We
are ready to fight and to die for that reality. Which is even more frightening, not to say even more more sad, we are
ready to die and fight for a very small part of this illusion, for something that we consider important without being
able to see bigger picture.
