They say perception is reality … but it isn’t, it’s the perception of reality which doesn’t mean it’s what is actually going on.
Sure there are some examples where perception can create the ‘reality’ … placebo drugs for example … but that is not always the case.
Let’s face it, a Wonderbra may give the perception of a woman with hydrogen filled balloons balanced precariously on her chest, but the reality is still going to be 2 beans on a slice of toast or 2 sacks of spuds that fall straight to the floor once the support has been removed [where they hell is this coming from???] and ‘The Blair Witch’ movie may have given the perception that viral advertising really worked when the reality is [1] no other movie has managed to achieve the same level of success using this strategy and [2] despite spending a small amount in Hollywood terms, the Blair Witch movie still invested tens of millions of dollars in marketing [est. US$25 million] – a fact an alarmingly low number of people realise.
It’s the willingness of society to embrace these perceived truths [or the fact that because it happened once, it will always give the same result] that I believe is leading to many going through life in a state of illusion and delusion – helped along by such things as [previously] easy credit, advertising and Government influence/policies – however with life currently enjoying [?] a phase of ‘unfiltered reality’, I am hoping the curtain of illusion has been pulled back so the light of reality can flood in, because as frightening as it may first appear, once we’ve seen where we stand, a bunch of good and meaningful things can start to happen.
To help things along [and this is possibly the worst link to a site EVER] allow me to direct you to this site … www.makelovenotporn.com … though I advise Billy to buy some hankies before he checks it out, not because it actually features porn [sorry] but because he’ll need something to wipe up the tears of reality.
PS:I appreciate Charles may disagree with the site given his recent rendezvous with a Thai porn star but that’s an exception, not a rule. 🙂
