Absolutely. My reality couldn't be anything like yours ... I color between the lines.

Well, let's see. We come from the same gene pool, and the similarities between our anatomies far outweigh the differences. We develop our cognitive skills by experiencing the same physical world of hard things, soft things, red things and green things, loud noises and scratchy jammies, gravity, fevers, buzzing insects and running water. We have the same primal urges to eat, poop, and sleep. All of this prior to being exposed to the influences of language, and the opinions expressed therein. We have pretty much the same sense organs, eyes that see colors, ears that detect tones, skin that detects temperature, pressure, and texture, inner ears that detect our orientation within a gravitational field, noses to smell smells, and tongues to taste rhubarb. Most of us go to school and learn about how to read and write, that 5+7=12, that the American civil war took place between 1861 and 1865, and that plants have organs of photosynthesis that are called leaves.
But then we go to college, and learn that all truth is subjective, that all the really hip people believe in skepticism, and take on a posture of studied irony toward the world, and engage in critical thinking against all the usual suspects: the already criticized assumptions of centuries long past.
If we're lucky, we'll learn where these intellectual fads came from, and that Hume's main arguments for skepticism are child's play, and that Kierkegaard was disgusted with the studied irony of undergraduates as far back as 1848.
On a crowded planet, in an age of mass communication, it makes sense that people would feel an overwhelming urge to emphasize their uniqueness, even to the extent of inciting epistemological chaos. You can call any similarity between our realities purely coincidental, if you want to consider the facts that we are both human, we inhabit the same planet, in the same universe, with the same natural laws, and have the same cognitive equipment as pure coincidences. Sure, I'll go along with that.

For the main area i think of it is the case; like some shifting Venn diagram our factors of connectvity are fleeting and in many situations incorporate some distance much less which potential than we opt to ascribe to them. That reported in spite of if, there are situations whilst i think of human beings could make a honestly soulful connection. Sharing in a 2nd of attractiveness or transcendence has a resonance which will final if not invariably, a minimum of an extremely lengthy time between 2 wakeful states or souls or in spite of. additionally situations of extreme stress or tragedy could have a matching result; I as quickly as wroked as a lifeguard and had to accomplish CPR on a gentleman who'd had a large coronary. He died a week later in wellbeing facility yet even regardless of this the persons who were modern-day that day. somewhat the three people who dealt with him, honestly had a particular bond from that 2nd on As for no remember if those bonds are fated or arbitrary, who's conscious of; i like to think of there is a few guiding rigidity, yet in spite of if there isnt they nonetheless carry out and significant evolutionary function of bringing us closer jointly

No

There's ONE reality.
And a million ways to see it.

A singularity cannot coincide with itself.

There's no such thing as coincidence. I do believe that we each perceive our own reality. You and I have each have our own set of reality. What happens in yours doesn't necessarily happen in my version. You may encounter me in someway, but I may not experience it in my version of reality. This conversation may only be happening in my version or only in yours. Who knows? I think there as as many levels or versions of possible realities as there are people to percieve them.
