Recently, i've waded into the effect of each of our perspective views on things, (e.g. - reality is something we all percieve through the senses and we need to be very humble and careful about what we define as 'real' or not), and also some of the ideas of the famous quantum physicist David Bohm (excellent article by David Pratt) who turned towards the east for insight into this reality we live in...
Indeed, our concept of "reality" has a great deal to do with our attitude about everything. I look forward to any further comments you may have!
