There is common disconnect between the experience of reality and the individual. In this day and age of rapid flowing information, the experience of reality which often leads to ones humanity and conscience is left behind, they don't know it is, and the experience is so lost that when it actually does show face, they don't even notice it. Delusion has greater momentum, more ground, and is more potent then any reality, or expression thereof. Shes an amazing person and i wish more people could see this. A good sense of reality.
