I have my truth and what is real to me in my world
I hope what you are saying here is not that you are subject to different natural laws from the rest of the universe as that is an absursd position to take. Do you mean you create your own reality and,if so,what does that mean?

"We cannot define anything precisely! If we attempt to, we get into that paralysis of thought that comes to philosophers, who sit opposite each other, one saying to the other, 'You don't know what you are talking about!' The second one says 'What do you mean by know? What do you mean by talking? What do you mean by you?', and so on."

It isn't so much that reality is different, but that our perception of it is definitely subjective.
I disagree. I would say our perceptions are the same barring any inherent faults in the senses themselves.{colorblindness,deafness etc.} I would even go so far as to say that the wiring of the brain is mostly the same. Our interpretation of or what meaning we assign to information provided by our brain and sense organs are varied but they must also follow some level of the same pattern or else it would seem to me that we would be incapable of interaction or agree ment and even disagreement.
