Surely if we perceive something to be so, it is so in our world. Does that mean each individual inhabits a different world; that no two people can truly claim to exist in the same world; that they exist merely in their own world and their cipher is a guest in other people’s? My world cannot be truly shared with any other, for though I can explain shallow concepts and visions, they will never be seen with the same eyes and processed with the same electrical impulses. Objects and conversations take on a different meaning according to each person’s own ideas and understanding and experiences. To claim that when one looks at a tree or a building or the sea one sees the same as everyone else is false. It’s like a sort of physical, emotional and experiential relativity; there are no absolutes.

Or not. *le shrug*

Random interjection here,

But I had a request for a book about a giraffe today and instantly thought of you and the giraffe.

Giraffe is preening herself. I wasn't actually aware giraffes could do this, but it seems they can. *learning* (but sadly not about Victorian masculinity, which is a shame for the state of my essay)

Could you instruct the giraffe to stop preening and do some research for you?

I could probably offer many books on the subject, but as they are in Swindon they will be of no good to you. And I have my hands full researching "The giraffe and his neck".

Good luck with the Victorian masculinty.

Alas, the sad thing is I have read many things, I just can't quite seem to create an argument. Bit of a shame, really *lesigh*

Giraffe is now "helping" by chewing my folder...

Very philosophical. Very Kantian. Very theological?... Not sure... But as we look at Kant, I guess we can cover that as well! ;o)
