“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” - Phillip K. Dick
The world is built on real, solid, objective truth. Truth so true that it would be true whether or not you were ever born. Truth so true that it will remain even after you expire. Truth so true is doesn't need you to validate it. Truth so true that you could be wrong about it. That is the world that God made and that is reality.
It is real regardless of what you think about it. It is real whether or not you feel like it is.
Matthew 7:24-29
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” 28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
A life built on all the feels has all the stability and authority of the trembling lips upon which it stands. The feels fall and the floods of tears come. People will speak against you and push into you, and when they do, you will fall. And that fall will be extraordinary because it won't be like falling forever into an abyss, it will be like a crashing flat into the hard surface of reality.
