If you click on the link below, you will see what they can do in movies to make you think you are watching actors in situations that are not reality. Yet, they seem so real.
What you see isn’t what you get
I find that life is often like this. I see what is placed before me and I make judgments based on my reality. While the elements that make up the whole picture may be real, I may be experiencing something that is very false.
Having worked in television, how raw footage is edited can change a story completely, even without the fancy effects you have seen.
Although I don't always succeed, I try to adopt an attitude of being open to new ideas that may radically change how I feel. Sure, I have my value system that has been shaped over the years, but I am always on the lookout for new information that may show me that what has seemed to be real in the past may not be. The great risk is that the new reality may prove to be smoke and mirrors, too.
I guess it all comes down to the fact that you will believe what you want to believe. Having adopted that belief, you will not want to move from that comfort zone.
Oh well, just some random thoughts in the new year. It's been awhile since I have posted something. We'll see how prolific I am in 2010.
