* Punch yourself in the face — does it hurt? — Real.

* By examining carefully. still you can never be sure.

* Think about face. Your face long time ago. Compare it with your face today. Perception will tell it was You and it is you.

* Pain is usually an indication that you are bumping up against something real.

* Pain reminds you there are causes and effects

* My perceptions are based on my life experiences. As far as I’m concerned, my experiences were and still are real. Unless someone comes along and tells me I’m delusional — in which case, perhaps, I would need to reevaluate what I hold to be true — I will keep trusting my perceptions.

* Because those of everyone else are false?😉

* Root cause analysis, selfknowledge, critical thinking

* Trip over something amd see for yourself

* “Things are not as they appear, nor are they orherwise.” -buddha

* All perceptions are real. What is this question? 👀👀👀

* BELIEFS drive your *perceptions! Then you must comply REASON to your beliefs to find REALITY!

* U dont , u just shoose to think they’re real

* I think you just opened a can of worms. I’m out, bye 🤣🤣🤣🤣
