Dagda,
To ask someone why they think the world is real is a very clever ploy. Since we can prove that our brains our constantly creating the illusion or map of reality so that we can function in the world, you are asking someone to explain reality from the perspective of their illusion maker. This makes it quite convenient for you to smash their response as an illusion so that YOUR truths can easily triumph.
The fact is the park is there, but every creature, down to the bacteria, senses it differently. Every living organism on this rock senses. We humans sense, we run our senses through our chemical analog computers, resulting in thoughts, feelings, and subsequent behaviors related to parks.
One person may have loved parks as a child and so they run to the swings and start swinging. Another person may have been molested in a park as a child and chooses not to enter the park at all.
Their RESPONSES to the park are based in the experience of their illusion makers, absolutely. However, through and through the park is still there and full of life-all life experiencing the park from their senses. So much so that a blind person could walk into the park and tell you that they are in a park. The only way the park would take on an optical illusion would be if the viewer had never seen a park before-then the chemical analog computer would take the closest background information it has to parks and offer up that illusion to give it's body and identity a sense of self so that it may continue to exist in a new environment.
Peace In
