reality is a figment of the imagination-there is no such thing. we each create our own reality, and so it varies constantly, and it loses the meaning it was origionally given. or something like that x)

Agreed.
What you see is YOUR reality and what I see is MY reality. There’s no “real” or “proper” reality. Everyone’s perception is equally valid.

We don’t all see it completely differently., there are some things in common in hour perspectives. So, then if a whole bunch of people find the little bit they all have in common, that’s reality-by-social-concensus — they can all agree on something to be true, more ore less. It’s much more reassuring than sitting alone wondering if one is right about anything.

Ah great. It’s sort of like saying why Wikipedia is a valid resource in learning about reality — it may not have been writting by experts but it is made to tend toward the greatest common factor or least common denominator or something. The reality we all most share.

reality is merly the perception of our senses.the difference in perception is a fact,but the beauty of it is that as we grow up we are trained to somewhat unify that perception-me seeing a ball with your eyes,it could be shaped in what i call a cube.but we were both trained that whatever this object we’re seeing we would call it a ball(sphere)-so even if that difference was significant,it wouldn’t matter

Reality cannot be defied by the human factor but it can be detected and felt.
What reality truely boils down to (and not many will agree with me on this), is the One Who bears the final perception of how He made it to be.

kind of a stupid question…

but here goes…

Reality is truth, Reality is what IS.

What we have are perceptions of reality.

We all have the same reality, we just see it from different perspectives.

seeing as you answered my question you should know that everyone has a different perception, and a different perception of what or what is not “stupid”, therefore you saying that is irrelevant.
