		<description><![CDATA[One has to understand what reality is to theirselves and to others. From one side it&#8217;s so good for anyone to be able to create their own reality, but end of the day, we can&#8217;t take credit of every aspect of it. No, we can&#8217;t. Understanding and internalizing that fact is important to navigate socially. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mindthepause.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10585925&amp;post=633&amp;subd=mindthepause&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
