RE: Overheard at the Post Office: When Reality Meets Faulty Wiring
I've been trying to unhinge from reality for a long time, @denmarkguy, but not in such a mundane way. All I can say is, if someone wants to build a different reality, do it over something more exciting than where your mail is going. :)
I think we run into folks like that all the time, especially among our family members, and sometimes, it's us. We can think a situation is going to turn out a certain way, and then watch it unfold quite differently. In many cases, we lack the information necessary to know what's going to happen, and I think that's evident in what took place with the man in the post office line.
However, based on some of his remarks, he didn't know when to quit. That's when you know you're really invested in a reality. :)
I like disconnecting from reality, too @glenalbrethsen but I remain a long way from Ascension! And I don't mean the island...
When I become the cog in the wheel, it's usually about my memory; arguing with my daughter about the color of our Honda when she was little (she's now 27)... and truth is we DID have a red Prelude, but it was before she was born, and we had a white one when she was 4 or 5... and I got the sequence of the two mixed up in my "reality."
But quite right, some people just don't know when to quite.
And then, of course, we have things like the whole "Spherical Earth of Flat Earth?" circus...
It's kind of odd, really, @denmarkguy, to think that in this day and age we're having any kind of real debate about the shape of the Earth, but hey, we need to keep it lively somehow. :)
