Seeing Things

What if "they" were really out there? After all, a demon-possessed psychiatrist would probably not be the most credible person to convince you that you're not seeing demons. It's interesting how some schizo, acid-heads or what-you-may-have tend to see demons. This may be part of the popular imagination (demons are rather prominent in lots of productions), or it may be that these supposedly insane people are seeing things that regular people have blinded themselves towards. After all, demons need not toss fireballs, have red glowing eyes and all that.

Reality is the consensus of the public. If everyone agrees that it's real, it's real enough. Some reason an entire civilization of blind people would assume that a sighted person were truly stark raving mad. Seeing things in the world, you say? There's clearly nothing to see! Just keep feeling like the rest of us!
