snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity

another very good comment. it makes me think.
I'm sorry, but I'm going philosophical.

question = you are so unrealistic. really. sometimes it's too much of sweetness.

Reality, my friend, is the rationalization of abstract concepts that exsit in the world because of one thing or another. You cannot tell me what is real or not, because it is all based on the interplay of perception, experience and even culture.

Sociologists go even further and say that reality is defined by language (I forgot the name of the theory). Not to say that reality is a simple question of semantics, but they pose a very valid theory. They say that for something to be real it must be in the language of the people. For example "privacy." There is no Filipino word for "privacy" because back in the day, we had no notion of it. We lived in barios where everybody new everybody, and the whole village was in-effect the extended family. Same thing with the Native Americans. They were called thieves by the Westerners that colonized them because the former simply took the belongings of the latter without permission. And it was because they had no word, nor concept of private property.

But I digress. Reality, ultimately is different from person to person. We have all been raised differently with different experiences that roughly shape our perception and therefore what is real to us. Take a child locked in a cellar for 7 years as an example. To her, that 4x6 room was the world. She had no concept of the objects beyond the four walls of her existence. Yes she was fed by the very parents that locked her up so there was a certain degree of interaction with the outside. When she was discovered however, she had absolutely no communication skills. She didn't talk and couldn't make anything out of this whole new world that she found behind the cellar door.

And in the end, nothing is real. Cue the matrix!

question = What do you think is one possible reason for you and Saab to break up/magkalabuan/cool-off? If you can think of any. Ako kasi I never thought I'd have such strong feelings when I learned na my bf started smoking about a year and a half ago and he never told me about it. I was on the verge of breaking up with him, because he knows naman na it's the only thing I cannot take but still ayun. I thought we were perfect din, we are also best friends and we're just like you and Saab minus the sweetness hehe :D It was reality check to me, na there's something pala na can possibly break us up or can possibly make me consider a break-up. Sharing haha, but yeah, what do you think can break you guys up or make you consider a break up? :) Have fun in SanFo! :)

lying or infidelity
