The counterside of reality.

I think everything is about point of views. Some people may be pessismistic, others will be optimistics.

There are clinically mad people, as our society means it, and there are the "normal" people.

What makes them different from us? Well, the number, the rate. We're more than them, so they are the abnormal and/or mad people. They are the mentally ill ones.

This statement can be questioned quite easily. The Right is always, at a certain level, easily dinstiguishable from the Wrong.

You can say, for instance, that seeing the world in a manichean way is not completely right. The world is a superb gradient of colors which don't have names, of feelings, of dear nuances and delightful levels of difference.

The world is "just" the dangerously and precariously balanced composition of feelings, scents, lights, shadows and refined materials.

The world is not only made of air, of water, of fire and of mud. Even if you add Love ( sorry Bruce W., sorry Milla J., sorry Luc Besson ), this will not make a world.

There is Life to add, Death also. And reflections, mirrors. I know the right mix of all the elements i enumerated above could make a mirror, water only could already be sufficient, but it doesn't make everything.

Otherwise, the reverse side of the world could be easily seen.

The world is also made of what we can't see, - I don't want to sound esoteric or religious or anything - of what we can't perceive.

Philosphy, and many other sciences would turn pointless if we knew the world. They would lose their goal, because everything would be known, because the Reality's formula would be known, wrote down, would have a final dot ending it.

Because the world would have limits. Because WE would have limits.
Because those limits would kill for good the dreams.


Because we don't have limits. In every way, we don't have limits. We can be the most graceful and kind people as much as we can express the worste feeling of hatred, or blatantly and terribly simply ignore the other.


Even the deal of what is true and what is not will - luckily - never reach a final answer. What is Truth ?

It's just the projection, distorted, composed of heavier or not aberrations, of the Reality on the unequal surfaces of our Worlds.

And no matter what you do, never dare say you're living in the world of someone else. Because this sentence only would expell you from this person's world, if you were in it before.

So no, the Truth is not the Reality. The Truth will never be the reality.

The world is just a matter of point of views, as I said, until we reach the Reality itself.

Would you be unaccording with this reasoning would you just show you're wrong : you'ld show your point of view, or at least your lack of, and prove the existence of at least one, which would be mine.

Remember the example of Platon's Cave. If you don't, please let me do it.

Imagine that mankind is sitting in a deep cave. Instead of mankind, imagine some men, representing it.
They are all facing the wall marking the end of the cave. And that wall is exposed to the light from the outside.
They are things outside. And those things have shadows, which appear on the wall, as distorted as shadows can be.
And the men can only look at this. Because these are the only things they have ever seen, they think that these are the Truth.
Cruel mistake.

Thinking, reasoning can only help you to try to look in your back, to face the light of what is the Reality.

At a certain extent, this example can be continued. Imagine that one of those men finally looks at the reality. He watches it, and because discovering it made him cleverer, he wants to show the right way to the other men. He will probably get killed.

That's fundamentalism.


What do I want to mean by those numerous statements and examples ?

Well many things. That what is on the top can be in the bottom, or worse, on the right hand or on the left hand. That we may be walking in the sky, if you can define the action of walking. That what we may be seeing isn't what the other person sees.

That everything is a matter of point of views.
