Reality

In order to live in reality, the first step is to detect where your head is at. Kind of like in the movie "The Matrix" and prior ones like "Alice In Wonderland," what we're seeing or feeling might not be Truth. And this is because of hormones, depression, self-deceit, or other maladies or interrupters. In the heat of the battle, adrenalin will give us tunnel vision. Lust blocks the thinking process entirely... my son referred to this as "thinking with your little head." Depression colors our world black to the point that we can't see. The reason some people can lie convincingly is because of self-deception... they really believe what they spout... which, to us, could seem believable instead of obvious malarkey. And all of these are ways of thinking irrationally.

So, how do we detect this so as to correct our vision with rational glasses? I believe that we can't, but our friends can tell us. An unbiased observer with his/her own perspective is a Godsend. I appreciate true friends more and more each day, and ask for their help more. More on this topic in the future.
