True Stories of Real Fiction/ Set your belts for Dingo!

Vince Neil slipped off of the stage during a performance and was unable to continue performing (True). I weep for his dignity.

Actually, there's no fiction here. Fiction is only a state of mind.

What is history anyway? How much of history is fiction? All of it could be, none of it could be. There's no way to know what events in our past actually happened and what didn't actually happen. There are only different levels of certainty/uncertainty. This goes even into our individual experiences. The mind is a powerful tool of suggestion and misinformation. What really matters to us is what we know, what we remember. There are two levels of reality, mental and physical. Both intrude on the other but ultimately, neither can be used in definition of the other. They are isolated. So how then do they define us as people. What is more important to the human being? The physical or the metaphysical?
