Whatever gets me through the night!

Micro sociologists claim that "Everyday life represents itself as a reality interpreted by men and subjectively meaningful to them in the coherent world"
The Construction of reality is individual.. and different people exract different realities out of a situation or a universal reality... one that can be seen from a bird's eye perspective...

following the trend of my previous blogs... more questions shooting your way....

is there as "universal reality" at all?
can there ever be a fact!?
if you look at a situation from a 3rd person pespective.. how do you know what you will see is "reality?"

I'm a clear interpretivist at mind... it took me long enough into the course to come to terms with that because i liked to believe im a realist... that i do believe in facts...
what is funny... is that while i was living by interpretations.. i liked to believe in facts... and now that facts glare at me in the face... i want to cling on to their interpretations

I don't like to believe that there is black and a white... and the shade of grey is what actually fascinates me!
its about understanding the grey... and what quantities of black and white went into making that one shade of grey...

My best friend of 16 years is an artist... she is one person i can give credit to for chisseling me out... in ways more than one... for what i am today...
Of the millions of childhood experiences that i remember with her... i remember the million times we analized colours, the waythey blend.. the effect they give.. the contrast they bring out and the meanings that the contarsts project...

So i know.. that every shade of grey can be complimented by a strong colour... to bring out the best in the grey!
I do believe that organge goes well with grey...
i do believe that purple goes will with grey
i do believe that red goes well with grey
and i do believe that blue goes will with grey

it is my perception of the "reality" or the grey... the Shade i "percieve" it to be.. to be able to compliment it with vibrance rather than mull in its dullness.

Its not a bad thing... so long as it appeals to me and adds colour to my life.. how i interpretthe grey...
it is hardly my botheration wheher my combination of purple and grey actually appeals to someone who thinks orange was a better shade to use...
so long as it gets me through the night
i think i'll be fine!

  1. appy..about the universal reality thing youre questioning..
    i could put it this way.
    everything that has ever happened or will happen is a perception. perception is individual. and individual is not universal.
    the only thing that is the truth, is that moment you are in right now.
    and just as youre reading this, another moment has taken its place, and the previous one is now a perception.
    whats say?
