“Belief is not a matter of evidence. It is a matter of choice. This is why a person convinced against their will, remains unconvinced, still.

Evidence rarely informs our beliefs. More often, our beliefs filter and interpret the evidence.

If you believed that elves caused rain, every rainy day would be proof of elves.

Objective truth is real and it waits for no man’s opinion. But objective reality is the domain of objects that have neither senses nor emotions.

Your mind, and my mind, exist in perceptual reality. Objective reality is a foreign land we’ve heard of, but have never visited.”
