Ivan they are interesting.

"Perception of reality is more important than reality itself".

Do you really agree with this? I think reality is more important. Ones perception of reality can be tainted by bad experiences, or a lack of understanding.

I agree with it from a disinformation/political point of view in terms of meeting an objective. I.e, it doesn't matter what happened, it matters what people think happened (change tense to suit).

From a personal point of view, I'm not so sure, but I suppose on a certain level your perception is all you have, and you hope that it is not too tainted. A discussion for another forum though.

Yes but because your perception can be tainted it is on your perception of reality that you make your decisions.

Reality itself has no baring.

Madness may affect your perception, and as a result your reality.

Madness = <Insert perception altering state>

Its tricky to explain, but I think you get the idea.

"Perception" would be an interesting thread title. After hours perhaps?

I think it is beneficial for people to discuss phrases in this thread.
