So before you dismiss something without basis and only under assumptions you're not being logical at all.
Whatever, the most important thing is I have testified whether people accept it is their own business. I'm not looking for recognition or anything like that at all. In fact Had I wanted recognition I would probably have preferred not to testify at all.

And who the hell define what is real or not? Mass or the majority of people's experience?
That wouldn't be wise wouldn't it?
Couple centuries ago most people thought the world was flat. So do you think that the world is flat was a reality even then when most people believe it?
Pushed further back in time most people thought the sun was traveling in the sky or that the earth was the center of the universe and every astronomical object revolves around it. Does majority belief make them a reality even then?
So what is reality?

If you define reality as things perceived by you alone(or even by your own family or by your own tribe, etc) then it's very subjective isn't it but if you define it as the majority of people belief and or perception then it can be misleading. No one man knows everything in an objective way. We each one of us is conditioned by our personal and subjective experience such that no man can claim to have known reality at all unless that man claims to have known everything! We CERTAINLY can't tell what is real or not for sure with respect to what other people are experiencing without a thorough investigation and even investigation could fail to reveal the truth behind.

Sometime ago atom was defined as the smallest particle of a mass then now we have identified sub atomic particles.
I'm saying that even our knowledge(science) things that we have proved by the mantra of logical discernment is DYNAMIC and CHANGING due to the fact that we are GROWING in knowledge. So today knowledge could be a past misconception tomorrow and vice versa.

I read a sad story in the newspaper sometime ago about a child or toddler being raised by cats. She behaved just like cats. So to her reality she was a cat. Does that make it true?
