Your anology regarding Ebert isn't worth a comment though you
probably perceive it to be profound. And reality exists only
in our perceptions and this varies with each individual. Reality
is not a constant or a fact, rather a conception based upon
perception. My reality is unique to myself as is yours. It is,
(or should be), constantly changing and evolving and that is
why I have such an affinity for poetry. Poets are constantly
exploring and challenging mundane and fixed realities, sort of
like pioneers in the quest for truth in a world where reality
is too often preached from a pulpit and where reality is
rooted in dogma and superstition. In such a scenario, reality
is that which we are taught with little or no original
thought, mere acquiessence to the self-serving "truths"
of others.
