I’ve had a quote on my fridge (actually many fridges) for about 25 years: “Be careful how you interpret reality. It is that way.” Eric Heller
But to answer your question, how reality really is more important. Which is why we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones, coworkers, anyone that has to live with our particular quirks, to work at being as perceptive as possible, to acknowledge our own faulty perception, and to try to be empathic of how and why other others perceive the world in the way they do. I just posted an essay about perception today that you might appreciate.

I will check your essay :) !
The quote you had on your fridge is spot on in my opinion, how we interpret things, is how they will be for us. Making that subjective and perhaps faulty interpretation our reality.
Neat! I saw someone liked my reply and realized it was you. I've been meaning to catch up with you @cstrimel. I'm up a bit too late for that now, but I'll check out that new post of yours sometime tomorrow. And the original one you referenced to me, too. (Still haven't forgotten, just got sucked into the wormhole.) I would upvote you back, but I'm running too low on vote power right now.
Ha! No problem. I appreciate that you’re even thinking about catching up. Hope you got a good night sleep! :)
