It is not easy, and not desirable, to be criticised. 
 
In essence, the trouble with believing that one's world is perfect comes in when other people's perceptions clash with one's own.
 
For me to truly believe, as I wish to believe, that the world which I externalise is the only one that exists, nobody should be able to challenge my beliefs, ideals and actions. And so the the problem arises: What to do when it does happen?
 
As I see it, two options exist:
Ignoring the challenge, walking away and believing anything inconsistent with my own reality to be false....
Or accepting that my reality needs alteration...
 
To muse on the latter, there are few people who I would alter my reality for - that is, alter to include their perceptions and beliefs. It is hard to do so, for letting in another parallel universe is to expand your own beyond your control. That is when things get scary. Immediately, when more than one answer exists to any one question, there is the risk of confusion. I think that I have a problem with expanding my world...
 
It is easy, to get upset when your expectations are not met. However, I have never decided whether the injustice lies in the expectation not being met, or in the original expectation. Meaning: was my expectation too high, and the behaviour only what was to be expected, or, was my expectation trite and the behaviour sub-standard? I don't know if an answer exists to this question: in my world, my expectations are average. In worlds I choose to encompass, I have yet to discover.
 
And so, I live as ever, to learn, and this is merely one more musing, one that I have chosen to pen.

when you say your world, you have 3 different varieties on to yourself. your concious mind, your sub-concious mind and your unconcious mind. many a times when we think or witness anything untoward to what goes in our minds, there arises a confusion. confusions are nothing but a disagreement between all of our 3 minds.
if one is able to co-relate oneself to another persons concious mind detecting a similarity in perceptions,there strikes a chemistry and a new friendship is germinated. or rather your expectations are fulfilled....if not one wouldnt accept the very sight of the other person

my own thoughts.....could be wrong also but i am receptive to any logical reasoning.

my comments would not be full, if i do not appreciate your writings....you have to know that your writings are influencing me in a positive manner in my day to day happenings. thank you very much dear friend. i whole heartedly appreciate your words of wisdom.
