Give me your unknown hand, since life is hurting me, and I don't know how to speak—reality is too delicate, only reality is delicate, my unreality and my imagination are heavier.

Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H. (tr. Idra Novey)

Our reality is full of dots that are connected by strings which construct patterns which combine to create the web of existence. What you interact with, what you can see and fathom is your world, but we are inexorably connected to one-another. Whether we pay attention or not we share the web of the Earth, and affect each other even when the consequences are not within our worlds; in other words, it is understood but not fathomed. The expansion of multiple worlds create a movement that will collides at multiple points. When this shakes an entire web, our expanding comprehensions combine to reach the same page--a revelation occurs–what was not understood comes into clarity revealing an understanding that was previously out of reach. A revelation is a catalyst; it is the name of the climax of the comprehension that changes the direction we move in to a refined competence.

A revelation is a realization that changes everything.

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

The Fourth Doctor (Doctor Who S14E16 “The Face of Evil, Part Four”)

Obviously, compared to the concept, reality is always wrong; as soon as a concept is embodied, it becomes deformed.

I really really really want to put all the "in the real world writers don't have any responsibilities for the consequences of what they put into the world and the onus of blame is entirely on the reader" people into a locked room with a team of professional editors who work for real life publishing houses and a printout of the contents of their AO3s
