(no subject)
"Many of us go through our lives believing that our view of the world is true and that other people share it. Our grasp on reality usually seems valid enough for us to live from one day to the next. But occasionally this complacency is shaken, and is confronted with a frightening possibility: What if the 'reality' that I usually take for granted is not actually 'out there' in the world that my senses seem to tell me about? What if it exists only in my mind and extends only to the limits of my own subjectivity? What if other people (assuming other people exist) live in different realities, traverse different worlds, and believe the universe around them (and within them) is fundamentally different form the one I seem to inhabit?"
