The way one see’s reality can be totally wrong to what reality really is. So, what does reality mean?

The Seven Sins of Memory It is not unusual for a person’s memory to fail them. These failures can typically be categorized into seven different sins, which Schacter (1999) created. The seven sins are transience, absentmindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. The first three types of sin deal with forgetting, the next three indicate types of exaggeration, and the last sin has to do with memories that are hard to forget. These sins occur often in daily life, and

The world that Salvador Dali creates in his painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), and its literal, visual distortion, greatly resembles the metaphorical warped nature of Oceania.
