Version of Reality

I’m wondering…about the ways that we create our own version of reality.

We seem strangely, yet consistently, capable of picking and choosing which pieces of reality we want to engage with. And, then, we often inadvertently reshape the significance of those pieces into a form that somehow serves us.

Once that process is well underway, it is difficult to not reinforce it by what we pay attention to and the stories we collect and maintain to keep it going.

When 'our' reality ends up disconnected from what is actually real, we become something generally unable to contribute to the common good...to what IS real.
