First, if you recognize something as unreal, it may not go away even if it is unreal. You can also make a mistake and try to recognize something as unreal and it's real and will eat you. Then you can recognize something as real yet it is not. In other words there are many ways to make a mistake, and don't be overconfident in your ability to recognize anything. After all, how many times have you felt certain about something, and been wrong? Like your first wife, or a lover? Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it in the meaning of seeing. len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
