Empiricism

It's really not fair. Some people see the world as a wonderful place while others must endure it as if it is hell. What makes this so? If it is same universe why is not seen the same way between two individuals? How can one landscape be a scene of joy for one while at the same time a scene of suffering for another? When people describe reality they forget to describe the emotion attached to it. They say reality is a sum of what most people perceive, something that exists independently of ideas concerning it. This is simply not true. The variation between the way each object or idea is truly perceived by minds is infinite. I see a tree, a sublime symbol of life and beauty. You see a tree with its out stretched roots sucking the life from the world, a symbol of parasitic destruction. This world is destroyed. Everything must be tangible in order to gain respect from our thoughts. Faith is destroyed. One must understand what you feel is the truth, the real reality, a reality of your own. Master it.
