"The monster is also that which appears for the first time and, consequently, is not yet recognized." (J.Derrida)reality is not separate from you or me. it is not something "out there" the fact that you are perceiving a different reality at this moment than i, being it so that you are in a separate body, does not make one of our realities less real than the other. humans construct human reality. the world doesn't have any meaning in and of itself other than what we decide that it has. other than what we attribute to it. we categorize things and people as separate because otherwise we would all be the same person. for whatever reason a specific group becomes the dominant one; whatever it is that they desire to be "reality" becomes just that. our expectations create a thing. they do not discover it. i think that sometimes i might come off as intimidating because of a certain assuredness i have about only certain things, but still it is there. but, i don't mean to be intimidating. i have to work on that. it's inherited. both of my parents were bossy know-it-alls.
