REALITY. Is it real?
In many decisions that we make.
One constant term comes into play,
measuring the possibility of it's success.
Reality.
We always ask ourselves if this decision is real or sensible or not.
But how do we measure what's real?
What is reality to you?
Is it really a realm of practicality that exists.
Or is it a term people use to label or categorize momentary logic.
People in the past use to think the earth is a cube. Travel any further into the ocean
and you'd be falling of a cliff!
J.J. Thomson's theory of what an atom really looks like is just
a cloud of positive and negative energy.
Art use to be termed as a painting of a scenery. According to medieval artists.
Dancing use to be used for war preparation rituals only, in tribes.
The above theories were thought to be "true" and definite...
REAL if you may.
We all know now that these theories were, in time,
developed and proofed false.
But didn't the people think that that was the truth?
That that was real?
In the past people thought that women should stay in doors.
To allow a woman to work outside, is a disgrace!
People even said that it is not possible for a woman to make it out there!
At least half the the list of most influential people were ladies!

But wasn't that the reality? How did these people do it then?
See, people live their lives bound by what
they accept as true and correct.
And they term it reality.
But what is "true", or "correct"?
It is merely vague concepts which are temporary.
How do people come up with a new invention?
They take the theories and ideas to the limit.
Testing the boundaries of reality.
Challenging the ideas of truth.
That's how new things are invented.
Next time when brain storming alone or in a group.
Don't just write off something that sounds ridiculous, or nonsensical.
You never know that idea is what's needed to break the boundaries.
CHEERS!
