Often people are not brave enough to actually face their real life experiences because they are almost always unconventional in that "One doesn't know what to expect" in almost any real life experience outside of one's home. And even inside one's home things can still go wrong like: "The electricity can go off during a storm or tornado or fire or earthquake or whatever, or your water can stop working or your Natural gas can blow up because it hasn't been looked at in 50 to 75 years and it wasn't designed to be left along unobserved that long. So, it takes some bravery to face the "Unknown" both outside of our homes and inside of our homes but also inside of our minds as well. So, this is why one of my favorite sayings is "truth is almost always much stranger than Fiction" because of these unknown components that one often finds when exploring the world outside or inside one's mind and experiences.
In fact, what people tell about their lives wouldn't be what you would be experiencing if you were looking through their eyes and observing what was happening in their lives. So, what is truth? Truth appears to be whatever people say it is in that given moment. But, that isn't truth it's a person's opinion of what truth is.
One of the reasons why there are 12 jurors in a court case is because if each of them actuallly witnessed the event that they are adjudicating there would be 12 different answers if they were an actual witness to any given event.
Why is this? It's because if 12 people don't talk to each other and give police what they witnessed there will be 12 completely different stories. So one is left with the fact that they ONLY person who can usefully define reality for you is You. Otherwise, often you die very young listening to others.
begin partial quote from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)
Phenomenology is the philosophical study of objectivity and reality (more generally) as subjectively lived and experienced. It seeks to investigate the universal features of consciousness while avoiding assumptions about the external world, aiming to describe phenomena as they appear to the subject, and to explore the meaning and significance of the lived experiences.[1]
This approach has found many applications in qualitative research across different scientific disciplines, especially in the social sciences, humanities, psychology, and cognitive science, but also in fields as diverse as health sciences,[2] architecture,[3] and human-computer interaction,[4] among many others. The application of phenomenology in these fields aims to gain a deeper understanding of subjective experience, rather than focusing on behavior.
