Reality - what is reality? Is it a subjective thing? How do you know what it is? I mean I know but there are people who are ill for example and they think their reality true as well as much as we think our to be. I think this thought is a bit frightening...

The world is real and the people in it are real. Emotions and speech are real. People all have a different pain threshold so in childbirth for example some of us cope better than others. I have traveled to more than fifty different countries in the world and each has been real. I loved seeing the pyramids when the plane flew over them, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, climbing the Mayan ruins in Central America and going on a safari in Kenya. Soap operas and novels can be fictional.

Why is this in travel... anyways, I suppose reality is a general state of being, or a feeling that most people accept and agree is real. While it could potentially be possible to be living out of reality in a context such as being in a hypnotized or sleeping state and being awoken when we die, I think that some people question if life is real, but accept they are living. How I think of it: We won't know until we die, and even if we die we may never know, so just live life and don't think of something you can't control.
