Embrace The True Nature of Reality - Issue 43 - 8th January 2023
I want to explore the nature of reality. We all, in some sense, forge our own realities, some more so than others. Some keep their realities small and comfortable, others explore beyond the confines of comfort. Some maintain ordered realities, others inhabit chaos. Some do so consciously, some unconsciously. Is there a true reality? That question has been pondered for centuries. The Buddhists believe that reality is change. This sounds plausible, in that the world and nature is ever-changing. Some attempt to shield themselves from this by ordering their realities around the comfortable and unchanging. This does them no favours. Unfortunately, the majority of people who struggle to live within the chaotic world struggle through no fault of their own, given the many factors that determine how an individual responds to change. Genetics, environment, upbringing, trauma, abuse and the nature of our modern society in which attention is profit all contribute to many of us craving comfort and distraction.
