The position you are supporting is known as naive realism. If you google that term, you will come up with a number of interesting links.
Naive realism is obviously wrong. A color blind person will perceive the world differently from a normal person. So the color blind person and the normal person cannot both be right.
However, naive realism might well be close enough for practical purposes.
The position I am supporting has nothing to do with naive realism. I never intended to state that the way everyone percieves reality is the way reality is. I am simply saying that reality is as it is apart from our consciousness.
Does your house exist only when you arrive home? Does the park exist only when you get there? No, it exists apart from you.
