Am i or is the world?

Also: How do you know the color you think of as pink is what other people see when they see pink? for all you know the color that pops to mind when someonesays pink is what someone else thinks of when someone says orange. you've both been told all your lives that the color is pink, so you have nothing to compare it to. You can never know if the other is seeing something different from you.

The lesson this was meant to teach is don't discuss it and don't worry about it.

 

This is the first time i'm visiting hippy.com in months:& and i'm really surprised and happy to see the thread has been continuing its existence somewhat independantly of mine. Actually i'd like to apologize if any of you wasted your time on this because i now see it is all in vain. I've done a lot of reading since posting this thread and lost all interest in the subject. Still, i do have an opinion on the matter just in case someone ever asked. I don't know if there exists any world outside my mind, but it seems best for me to believe so, because else i'd spend my life thinking about it, not living it. Anyway, i like it. Thanks everyone for replying, i'd like to close this thread.

 

Ok. If you were dreaming that someone punched you in the face, did it really happen? Is the face yours or is the fist? Is both of them? Is the dream yours or itself's? Are you creating it or experiencing it?
