i've never, up to this point understood that..

as i was about ot type "because we see the color, and agree it is the same color, and we all coloborate each other on it" but then it just clicked.... of course they could see what i see as red and know it as green and we both agree that it is 'green'.... but that doesn't mean my preception of red and green would be the same as theirs....

that really is another mind fuck.. i don't think you could really understand the philosphy behind the color until you take into account the way we see colors.. if that makes sense.... you have to into account the color you see is merely just light reflecting off said object... and there's a chance that it would appear diffrent to others as it is reflected..
