What is Real?

What is real is whatever you believe it is.

If you told me "Pink Fairies come out of my fingers to bless mankind."

(I've had girls tell me these kinds of things in the 1960s by the way)

I might just say, "Ok".

What I might be thinking is another story. (in other words I might quietly laugh inside myself)

However, I believe whatever you need to believe to stay alive in a human body here on earth that doesn't hurt anyone else might be useful to you in staying alive another day.

But, if you tell me "Everyone on earth wants to kill me."

I'm going to consider you a threat not only to yourself but also to all mankind. Because this is not a useful belief.

So, be careful what you believe in.

Some beliefs will lead to a healthy person and a long life and some won't.

So, what is real?

Whatever you believe to be real.

However, if you choose wrong likely you might be dead by this time next year or the year after.
