pg20 What is the reality of objects in general? Water falls as an example – Virtual concept. (part 1 of 3)



Let’s take an example.  What is the reality of a water falls?  A water falls, say the Niagara falls, is a concept.  The actual content of the falls, i.e. the water stream or water drops, has never been the same.  It is ever changing all the time, as they are always different water drops which flow through the falls.  At most, it is a shape, a rectangle or triangle.  But even a shape is not an object, but a concept.  However, it is always said to be “the same” water falls.  The falls exists only because we recognize it as an object.  If we insist on defining an object by its “physical content”, then the falls does not exist because it has no fixed physical content (only water drops, rather than the falls, exist).
