Incidentally, Mans, our of interest like: if a tree falls in a forest....
Your head is full of dreams, Mans. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I don't know if I can speak for everyone here, but I can't really have much time for this kind of thinking I'm afraid; it's so pointless. Is it easier to believe that what you see in front of you actually exists, and that you're a Man with the mind that you know yourself to have, or that you're really an all encompassing intellect alone in the world -- a being that has dreamed up not only everything in history, but hinders its own super-intellectualness from itself and believes itself to be a normal man??
Anyway. Basically, what I will say on this the difference between reality and imagination: one exists independantly of the mind, and one doesn't. One is real.. (I can't believe I'm saying this, you know... =]) One is merely your thoughts.
Are your thoughts reality? No. They do not really exist, but are projected imaginings that your mind creates to think about things. Imagination, after all, is what makes us as humans special; the skill that we have to look ahead is what makes us so brainy, really.
Hmmm....
Jokes aside, Mans, have you ever considered that you might in fact be insane? =]
At any rate, all that (^) should be perfectly clear and obvious to anyone not of this persuasion. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] This really is philosophical thinking at its most irritatingly stupid (absolutely no offencive connotational material intended to any parties, just voicing my opinion on it please... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] =/). I really can't be bothered with it at all, you know.
