Gibergaber | Perception and Reality

Let's say there is something you read, see or hear that bothers you and makes you feel bad... what would you do to make it disappear?
Close your eyes... shut your ears... turn your head the other way... move away... throw the book away... turn off the radio.... change the TV channel.... browse another website.... and there are many other alternatives...
The result is the same... you no longer see or hear about it...
With time... you'll stop thinking about it... which makes that thing disappear from your own reality...

But someone can claim that the real existence of that something is independent of your perception... and for other people it still exists...

But taking this a further step ahead... if everyone did any of the choices mentioned above and the reality of that thing stopped being defined through other people's minds and perceptions... would that make [the thing] disappear?

No one can see it... hear it or think about it... which means... [it] doesn't exist any more!!!!

Could that be the solution???
