Conceptual Reality

The Conceptual Reality. To many this is not really something they could explain, as this is what they see as reality, however this is false. We give conceptual substance to each thing we see. Table, Chair, See-Saw etc, we give them names and instantly minimize their potential by making an absolute. Obviously it is better to give it a name so that you understand exactly what it is, however where is there any substantial proof to say this is exactly what we say it is? It is only just word of mouth. When you don't spend your time labeling objects amongst other things you will begin to see how free and easy life can be. Conceptual labeling can sometimes be the downfall of the way we interpret the world, because we take everything to be the absolute.

The fact is, "reality" is something which we cannot describe. It is completely an indescribable topic which we should allow to just be as it is, don't try to explain what is simply there. Even then, we are only interpreting this as something real, when it may not even exist. We can't simply remove conceptualizing from our system, it is deep rooted and will probably live with us for the rest of our lives. But there is nothing wrong with that, just as long as you understand that conceptualizing is just a forms of describing an object, it doesn't mean this is everything, the "absolute" what it really is is something which is aspect of our consciousness, which we should respect amongst all other aspects which we are able to acknowledge.
