Here, late in the night, I begin to grow philosophical.

I have been thinking alot about those ideas about how we all see things differently from each other. I remember that story of the man who woke from a dream of being a butterfly, and began to wonder if he was in fact a butterfly dreaming of being a man.

There are in fact, scientific reasons for seeing things differently. I know that a few of my relatives are red-green color blind (meaning they cannot distinguish between red and green).

This kind of thought made me start to think of how differently we all see things. I will look at red and see red, but is it the same red others would see? Suppose there is something about my vision that is "incorrect" compared to the majority of others, and makes me see colors differently. Me and another person would agree that if we were to look at a solid hue of "red", we would both agree it was "red" becuase when we grew up we were told that this hue is "red". But if we were to switch bodies, how differently would we see the "red"? Would it be like someone messed with the color settings on a TV, and everything suddenly seemed off a bit?

Red

We have quantified red, no, the whole of color to definite co-ordinates of whatever measure we use. And yet, I cannot help but wonder if that red I see is the same red you see.
