Reality

Defining "reality" is a difficult task. It is hard to describe something that encompasses so many different things. To me, "reality" is the word that includes everything that is actually happening at any given moment. It is pure, real, and unaltered. Sometimes, reality ends up getting skewed by certain situations. Reality is unique in the respect that it is one of the only things that cannot be affected by media or other forms of alteration. It may be perceived incorrectly at times, however reality is always pure. It is essentially a never ending string of unfiltered events. Always candid, always truthful. Once it becomes skewed, it is no longer "reality." For example, people tend to remember situations differently than how they actually happened, usually favoring themselves more in the memory. Let's say that two people get in an argument. Typically, both people think they are not at fault because they both perceive the reality of the argument differently. If the situation is looked at objectively, the reality of it is a lot more evident. Although the perception of reality can become skewed, only the unfiltered, unaltered version can truly be called "reality."
