The Sixth Word

REALITY

"A belief shared by two or more creatures"

Most of the time,
we like to think that REALITY
is the same thing as TRUTH.

The 'good' news is,
sometimes, it is.

The 'bad' news is,
sometimes, it is not.

There is a very old parable about seven blind men
who venture into the jungle to learn what an Elephant is.
In the course of the story,
each blind man grasps a particular part of the Elephant;
his trunk, his tail, his leg, his body, a tusk.

The blind men then call out the nature of their discovery,
each according to his perceptions:

"An Elephant is like a snake!" cries the man
who grabs the Elephant's trunk.
