We're talking about two totally different things. Many people could verify just about anything, but that doesn't disclude any of us from experiencing the vibrant individuality each of us has. We all exist in our own world, and construct it in similar ways. And as similar as it all seems, it is totally different for everyone. It's like the saying "I'm unique just like everyone else" - well, that is true, because each of us are our own worlds. There's an internal reality that is applied on this external reality that we see. Here's a question that I would ask to show you how different we are, and how much we create our own worlds - look at about a dozen pieces of art and talk about what you see, what different things mean to you, what they make you think of, what you like and don't like about them, and what you feel. Compare that to anyone's. This will give you an idea of the world that you create.
