harsh realities

A state of affairs present in today's society of white supremacy, gender binary misunderstandings, extremism in faith and state, and the willing sheepishness that a general public is desperate to cling to.

Usually harsh realities are continuously cloaked by human nature's tendency to maintain a status quo and not ask too many questions, which can make the reality illusive.
Systemic oppression is one of the harsh realities that many humans willingly refuse to accept.

Theory of Personal Realities

The theory that everyone experiences reality through the lens of personal paradigms, personal opinions, political views, worldviews, and individual experience—that there is no unmediated access to reality, only reality-as-experienced-through-particular-perspectives. The Theory of Personal Realities doesn't deny that there is a world independent of our perceptions; it insists that our experience of that world is always shaped by who we are, where we stand, what we value. Two people can inhabit the same physical space and experience completely different realities because they bring different frameworks to the experiencing. Reality is one; personal realities are many.
Example: "They lived in the same house but experienced completely different realities. The Theory of Personal Realities explained why: he saw safety; she saw threat. He saw opportunity; she saw risk. Their frameworks shaped everything, made the same world into different worlds."
