Trusting the Reality
The world is a complex shell which we cannot interpret what is beyond our sphere of influence and therefore admitting the reality about us is based solely on what we know and not what we perceive. We cannot trust the reality around us as often when we are baffled; we pinch ourselves to confirm the status of our nature; dead, alive, or dreaming. Therefore, we can assume that if we understand ourselves and relate entirely to what is around us, then we are in the real world.
The human mind is a sophisticated computer that can develop emotions and imagine scenes we have never encountered in real life. Dreams look genuine till the cock crows or an alarm rings. The painter imagines a beautiful piece of art and uses brushes to bring it to reality. Therefore, this concludes that the mind can recreate the realities around us and those we are yet to meet based on how we understand ourselves and our surroundings.
We are filled with skepticism when we cannot accomplish our wants or when everything seems to fall apart. The beauty of life is often perceived in happiness and success. To understand the world, we need to engage in the pursuit of happiness, tire in arithmetic, and geometry, which should always provide the true mathematical notations. This is the assumed assurance on whether we are real, alive, and understand our world accurately.
