Our reality, that which gives sustenance to our life, our day to day and our way of seeing things, has two fundamental pillars: the history of humanity and the sociocultural context. Both things define the 3 temporal periods that are important for man: past, present and future.
We live with the full security of a concept of life and a perceptive of these 3 periods; However, if we analyze briefly, our "reality" is fragile and brittle:
The past, specifically the past of the human species, is made up of events of which we have no certainty that they really happened or how they happened, only one piece of evidence, some of which we have stylized narratives along the way. time, which from the first moment could be influenced by the worldview of the one who narrated it for the first time, perhaps many details were omitted and others exalted, even a key moment of history could be modified for the benefit of a certain cause.
The present, in addition to using the past as a reference, is influenced by the sociocultural context in which we live, we have clearly seen that what was "normal and socially accepted" only 30 years ago, today is not or vice versa. On the other hand, the culture of each town and region makes it impossible to determine a pattern of normality. A common and millenarian practice at one end of the world is ill seen and even illegal at the other extreme, not to mention the weight exerted by factors such as science, politics and religion.
Finally the future, always the maximum concern and uncertainty of man, of which we only have desperate estimates that we have invented trying to have control of it, when we truly do not have even the slightest guarantee or certainty of what will happen in the next 60 seconds, when we do not know, as I have already pointed out, what our true past is, nor are we totally sure of how and why we live the way we do in the present.
All this leads us to the following question: Is there "reality"? perhaps simply our life and existence is the ultimate expression of a curious, misunderstood, strange, complex and beautiful anarchy, chaos itself, something we must evaluate by our own means and live under our own concept.
