I believe "objective" reality is more or less a linguistic concept, since perception itself is a metaphor insofar as it is composed of interpretive (hence subjective) data. Just as one can mathematically describe a triangle without there actually being a triangle present, perception is simply a description of the phenomena our souls come into contact with and reflect in the act of perceiving, positing it in the mentally-generated field of the "physical" (though perseonally, I believe physicality is an illusion as well - there is only Being and the awareness thereof IMO)
Hrm.. gee. Lots of smart people here.. *scratches his head* *laughs madly* I suppose it is as safe to say as saying that everything we sense may be true within the context of actuality presented. ~Zeph the Psychonaut~

just b/c other's don't also sense something does that mean you didn't?
Does it matter if they do or don't?
I have a very strong _belief_ in an objective reality - but I'm willing to believe that I could be wrong.

How could I make that comment without contriving a way of using the word "solipsism"??
*weeps*

You may all laugh at me now.
