So it is with metaphysics. The 'whole' existing gives credence to 'a' point existing. Without the other points, 'a' point has no validity. Without the 'You exist.', 'I exist.' has no validity. A soul, a piece of God travels within the body, and we, other pieces of God, decide it is okay to suck out the brains of this new piece of God in order to protect the 'right's of the woman.
Perception is important.
It leads to the action of tolerance or intolerance. Not even government can do that much for you. You are not in God's hands, you are totally embraced by God's presence. If as we presently believe, we do not impact G'd, then it is true Reality is what Reality is and that's the end of it. If, on the other hand, we do impact G'd, then it could be said Reality is what it is but we mold what it is to become.
