For one, if nothing is real, then you're assuming that statement to be true, therefore that absence
of reality to be real; you can perceive it as such: _objectively_, (shunyata, is one such very
objective nothing) thus you have, whether you like it or
not, _knowledge_; I'm afraid this is an old debate.. we could go on and on..
secondly, if all that exists is based on what people believe, how come they're not all smart, as
they think they are, or flawless? How come a certain principle called reality keeps on popping up
in our little minds telling us how wrong - or right - we are? Could it be that, we not only create
our own personal reality, but we're also schizophrenic, so that we can contradict and frustrate
ourselves: hey that's pretty cool!! I don't think we're that smart in fact. But we're smart enough to
align our own perceptions with the world around us, which is a great achievment; then we can
go on and align ourselves with the foundation and source of this world, which is the greatest
achievment of all; OR, we can create our own personal reality according to what pleases us, in
contradiction with the outside world, which is not built to please only one single individual btw,
and consequently find ourselves in contradiction with its foundation: I'll just let you guess which
path makes you miserable, and which one fulfills.. I don't think you'd teach your rhetoric to your
own children anyway, so this is silly.. I know we agree..
