How is the perception of existence objective? Give me a logical explanation for that.

Dapo777:


I hope you know wherever you are typing this, u can die in the ñext minute?
If you are in a building, a truck can ram into the building and kill u instantly? The building can collapse over you, next few minutes
And thats the end of it all. And then they will cry on ur funeral, after some years u are forgotten

Whats d meaning of this life to u?

johnydon22:
To percieve existence you must have the ability to percieve which you showed clearly when you distinguished living things from none living things.

So your knowledge of existence is as a result of your perception of what is

herald9:

This reminds me of existentialism... Damn I hate being sad.

It seems this is where religion comes in, as everyone is trying to find an escape route from reality.

Dapo777:


Is my perception of what is, the same as what actually is?

Dapo777:


Sad because?

johnydon22:
And now the questions just swerved into a whole new dimension of which i cannot make any absolute statement on. . .

Since your knowledge of what is depends on your perception, how then would you know if what you percieved is not actually what is outside your perception ?

herald9:

When you realize that no matter how you enjoy, there's something waiting for you.

And as an unbeliever, you don't have the benefit of hoping for something like them religious folks. That's saddening you know.

Dapo777:


I do not know. That's why I asked.

johnydon22:
That is it bro, since all we know are encompassed in our perception, there is no way we can know or determine what is outside our percepion and there is absolutely no reason to assume up one

Dapo777:


There is also no reason to assume there is nothing outside our perception

johnydon22:
Nope, maybe for you but not others.

There is a sense of satisfaction that comes with forgoing to live in the hope of abstract fantasies like the one you are proposing.

so i would say for me not living in such fantasies and wishful thinkings gave me a sense of fulfillment in what i have got and no happiness could be greater than that for me

herald9:

I use to reason like this, but sometimes my humanity floods in and I can't help being immersed.

You know it's normal for humans to want a better/sugar-coated description to something terrible in order to escape it's full blow.

Just hoping one day I'll be evolved enough to accept reality as it is without blinking.

FrancisTony:

Confusion grandeur!
My brother, you need Jesus.

herald9:

Stop jumping on posts you don't understand or you might break your leg.

I was saying religious people are looking for ways to escape reality that's why you are seeing many religions in the world with mind-blowing doctrines.

I wasn't encouraging religiosity.

FrancisTony:

No vex!
