stop the world, i want to get off
something i was thinking of today: we try to prove the existence of a physical world with our 5 senses. (ex: this tree is real because i can see it, this water exists because i can taste it, the table exists because i can feel it.) but perhaps our senses are really just tools of our minds. there are certain things that we cannot understand without some sort of "evidence" of its existence. like how could you explain sound without the ability to hear? so our mind creates these images and scents and sounds so that we can understand these concepts. and all these things form this world that we label reality. but what we can feel, taste, see, smell, and hear is not reality, they are just a made-up world that our minds create so we can understand things easier. it is our minds that live in reality......... does anyone understand what i'm saying at all?
