There is such thing as subjective reality, which is much more difficult to tap into!. Descartes started with "I think, therefore I am"

Who is right!? If they truely belive that they are seeing,blue or green, then thy are both right!. We are tought that blue is blue and green is green and yellow is yellow, but if you tell a child that blue iscalled green then the child will grow up thinking that blue is called green!.

The mind will belive what it hears, sees, smells,!.!.!.!., but understanding why that sound was made or that sight was seen is what triggers the mind to think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
