Living behind the veil
What is Appearance and what is Reality? Perhaps the best way to start off is by reading through the millions of books that have been written on this topic? Perhaps the alleged distinction between the two is itself an appearance? Perhaps appearance itself is real? Perhaps whatever is real is only apparently so?Perhaps the mind is trapped in a web of words, a web that it was born into and cannot now unweave?
Or perhaps, as an afterthought, why even bother asking these questions? Are these not the symptoms of a delirious mind suffering from metaphysics?

Appearance and Reality both are two abstarct words. Appearance is something which is defined and judged in other's reference frame ... something related to 'as we see it' ... now i can't see myself ,but my image can only be viewed ... while others see my appearance.I'm identifying my appearance with the help of my image which doesn't have any physical existence ,so 'appearance' is an illusion in that sense ,it's not reality .On the contrary ,reality is something all of us feel on our way of life,everything is reality including our existence and non-existence.It is independent of the person's reference frame ... but depends on experience knowledge information and the way he/she likes to or wants to look at the world or feels life ,'Reality' is reality.. nothing else ...
