Erin,
Simple enough. Perception IS reality.
This is true for the resident of the state hospital and for the Mayor of
Boston and the college student, ...ad nauseum.
Responding to:
Bartz,
I am not completely following your argument. You seem to show
that you can change your perception of liking the event but
how do you take that to reality is whatever you like.
Your bus example seems to say more something more like
your perception of an event can be changed by your likes
but your perception can not change the reality of the event.
Imagine your foot is stuck in a grate you can't stop the bus
from hitting you even though you would like it to stop.
But like you said with a narrow miss somebody might be
experincing a pleasurable high and some an unpleasurable
anxiety. So in that way your point of view change the perception of the
event
but your perception of the event can't change the reality of the event.
Is this just a subjective experience vs an objective experience?
