| after what is truth, what is real is the second best question | |
| for if we take a backward glance at our life then everything | |
| looks like a dream especially those ardent and intense moments | |
| that seemed so real where are they now they are now just a | |
| memory viz just a thought - so what have we to say about this | |
| day and this very[real] moment - so how does a thought turn out | |
| to be a thing and a thing a thought - twinc | |

| If we see a table, twinc,we shall think the word table if we are | |
| mentally focused on tables generally. If we think table, if we | |
| are mentally focused on looking at tables, or searching them | |
| out, if our search has been successful and we find a table, we | |
| shall see the table we are looking for. It is a matter of | |
| focus. | |

| If mental focus is as important as it could be, all recollection | |
| is a matter of focus as well. The focus will disclose the | |
| reality of what had happened in the past. It could only be | |
| recalled with a dream-like quality if the person is | |
| existentially alienated from the recollection or is prone to | |
| deceit and self-deceit. | |
