It seems like so many of the texts we read/watch/listen to revolve around a question of reality. It's all about point of view. I know we've talked about "reality" and "truth" in class before, but what is real, what is the truth as we defined it Mr. Piekarski? Tim O'Brien told us what was real didn't matter and if we began to ask if it really happened, we missed the point all together. But what is the point? Everyone seems to have their own "truths" their own "realities".
O.K. so "reality" would be like say, what what a detatched third party, non-biased, observer would see, like God or the Universe almost? And whatever body else down on earthy-poo is doing and everything they have to say or everything they feel, is just a point of view? Can we still say that their point of view is a certain truth to them?
I'm very confused. So no one is right, no one is wrong. There's no black or white, no "this is truth and this is not" type of thing. Just shades of grey, "perceived personal truths" and points of view.

************ okay: QUESTION NOT RELATED TO CLASS:
what does this mean or indicate when placed after a quoted passage:

I'm hedging my bets that you Mr. Piekarski, ze reader/writer whizzz, know what this is.
P.S. You're a cruel cruel thug for allowing Halloween to fall on a Wednesday. I'm not bitter.
