9. I keep asking myself on an intellectual basis.....

How can one set of facts equate to two differing sets of reality in people's minds (them and us). I mean, what is it about their minds that is different than ours, that causes them to think in the way that they do? If the answer to that question is anything other than there being some inherent disease in their minds with which they have been afflicted, then I can only ask the objective thought process within my own mind the question, "What is the real reality between them and us?" Whose is to say that the way their minds work is any less correct than is ours? And then, for that matter, perhaps there is even a third reality that no one on this planet has yet been introduced to. Who knows? Are there any intellectuals out there who are prepared to answer this question? I don't mean to be going all Twilight Zone on any of you on a Saturday night, but these are thoughts that have perplexed me throughout my entire life, so far.
